#Afghan Blankets

[valtiere]

This blanket is a monster. I had no idea how big it was going to turn out. This is it on a king sized bed. Not the best photo but I was so excited to finish it I just had to share. Tomorrow, assuming the weather is good for it, I'll get some better photos in the sun.

one finished square, one wip, because i don’t know what color to finish with for the second square… feel free to leave me suggestions in the notes!

as per usual, done with a 3.5 mm hook, added the splendid serendipity border, and yarn and pattern details under the read more :)

square 1: Pennywise by Diana Krenz (free), despite my dislike for the fictional character, this is a lovely pattern. :) i think i added some front post stitches somewhere, but otherwise this pattern is unchanged.

yarn: if i’m not mistaken, entirely Lana Grossa Cotonella 002. cut off some of the gradient from gray to pink in between, to get the clean magenta and red border which i find really striking!

square 2: Gabriel by Diana Krenz (not a free pattern). Added a barely visible round of slip stitches before squaring up, because i thought the circle was too pretty not to be subtly highlighted. :)

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 005 until squaring up, and then 008. The maroon border was done with a yarn i bought in a spanish dollar store — Melissa Platinum Cotton (100% cotton) in color Piri 8

Knit this square yesterday, the yellow is that little skein of handspun hampshire that I dyed in the second round of exhaust. I got pretty far on an acrylic garter stitch scrap blanket à few years ago, before realizing I hate acrylic and have less than no use for a blanket made of the stuff. But man, the squares looked really nice. This blanket is stockinette because I intended to practice flat colorwork, but I wish I'd just done garter stitch. I love how it looks a lot more. Anyway... the gray is some Jacob scrap. I like both sides, not sure which will be face up when I sew it on. I need to block a ton of them atm, just don't really enjoy it. (That is another benefit of garter stitch squares).

Also the bread. Just finished its first rise. It's a blend of bread flour, whole wheat, and rye. The rye was accidental, I was looking for either spelt or more whole wheat but it wasnt labeled and light in the basement was off, so I grabbed rye accidentally, and... eh. Also has toasted Pecans. Idk, all my bread is 'what if I tossed a bunch of random stuff in a bowl while having very thick brain fog ?' But it usually tastes pretty good.

Also, 3 rolags down. I'm taking a long time with them trying to get all the vm out, but I think it's actually working really well. We'll see.

Cathedral rose window Afghan in rainbow colors to compliment my stained glass window Afghan in the same color scheme.

I started this Afghan right after Christmas and worked on it off and on for 3 months before completion.

Made this patchwork blanket during the pandemic as a way to work through a lot of the scrap/extra yarn I had. I even flew across the country with my squares when I went to quarantine with my sister!

I realized I never posted about it since it wasn't very ~~aesthetic~~ but it has been such a good blanket for me since then that it seems like a shame not to share it! It is just warm enough to be comforting, but not so heavy that it makes me sweat outside of winter months

Pattern: Kraft-tanken-Patches

What if I made Corazon's shawl/poncho thing from that Log Collection illustration my next knitting project?? 👀

Here's a couple of my older makes.

And the Cosmic CAL blanket (pattern by Helen Shrimpton/Crystals and Crochet):

2024 sucked, but at least I made a blanket

Getting there. This is through all but the last round of the first set(which is only sc and so doesn't add much height anyway). It is now two feet across.

Soft kitties, warm kitties:)

@dollsonmain posted this adorable crochet kitty blanket a while ago and I knew I had to make one:) Grabbed some colors and got to work.

Close up. The pattern is simple and works up quickly but it took me a long time to finish it as I ran out of yarn; silly me thought a skein of each was going to be enough lol. I couldn't find close enough color matches in store (most of my yarn is old stock people give me) but fortunately Sis was rearranging my yarn and discovered enough that I was able to complete it:)

It's a bit larger than I intended (I meant it to be more toddler sized). I couldn't decide on a border color so used each color on one side.

This is an adorable blanket and I can't wait to make more!
