The ten stitch has been on the go since June and I'm actually glad to see the back of it. The finished size is 50" x 50"and it used 1380 grams of yarn. The yarn was an assortment from stash, held together to make a chunky yarn, thus giving the tweed effect. I added the flower to the middle as I wasn't keen on the initial green. This will be for Jess to play on as they have laminate floors which are a bit cool in the winter months.
I also completed a hat - 1 hour Hat with Bobbles by Stefanie Japel for Craftsy. I can tell you, I couldn't knit this in an hour, took me more like two, but then I didn't sit at it religiously. Pleased with the end result. I expect my youngest will claim it.
To give you a laugh - I left the hat on the head form last night and it gave my husband a real fright this morning when he came downstairs to find it sitting on the back of the sofa! Must admit these heads are kind of freaky
Having a quiet weekend, the weather doesn't look promising, I currently have washing out but keeping an eye on the weather. Hope you all have a peaceful weekend.....
The play mat looks great and the hat is so unusual. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm ploughing on with my chevron blanket but I think i'm going to feel the same as you as I approach the finishing post.
Sue, I don't know your age, but at 65, my thumbs are giving me problems if I knit for more than an hour at a time. How do you manage to knit so much?! I admire your efficiency, and I love seeing your lovely creations. Your family is blessed!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your kind comment. At 58 I find I am still ok pain wise, some days the odd twinge. I knit every evening, its what keeps me awake!!
DeleteThe throw is wonderful. I like the tweedy effect. And the hat -- another winner! Love the bobbles.
