I'm often asked about the little circle or flower i start my work with...yes it a me thing makes the piece mine if you like, but it does serve a purpose too....no end to deal with.
And on a long base chain, occasionally I miss count the 200+ Stitches often a complaint I here......
with these extra few chain stitches to the flower I have a few stitches to play with...solves another possible problem.
100g ball has made a piece 8.5" x 32" perfect for a neck wrap.
A baby blanket would probably need 4 maybe 5 balls
to make approx. 32" x 35"
I love this
ReplyDeleteThank you, it really works with this yarn in particular
DeleteAwesome piece
ReplyDeletethank you....only had one ball but i would love to make it into a blanket one day soon
DeleteI really like it in the scarf version with the 3 neutral shades (black, taupe and was it off white?} and the flowers dangling from the beginning and end of each row from chain stitches of differing lengths! Really lovely design and I hope to get some yarn in pretty much the same shades you used in your version! I have needed Heather grey and taupe forever.. Yet still haven't managed to remember when placing orders! Really neat design idea!!
ReplyDeleteReally love the merry go round yarn that you have made this in.....which variation was it please....I can't find anything like it on the yarn websites....did you mix 2 ??
