Yes people I have TWO on the go, shock, horror, she of the only one project at a time, finally gave in and cast on something else. It was actually too hot for knitting my Ten Stitch so decided to cast on a door stop - quick, simple and small.
So here it is -
close upI used Zettl Sensatione from Lidl or Aldi - its a huge 400g ball that hubby picked up for me last year, self patterning. The pattern called for 100g of yarn but mine only took 40g so hardly made a dent. I have sewn it up - the instructions were a tad confusing for placing the base but I got there! Just need to find something to fill it with, then I can show you what it looks like.
I have made some progress on the Ten Stitch, I'm using 6 colours for this one and using 5 colours for each round, dropping/adding one colour each time. I think I'm happy with it. I have received so many compliments on my blue/grey one that I hope I can achieve the same pleasing effect.

ReplyDeletethanks everyone. Door stop now completed and posted
ReplyDeleteDoor stop? You mean something that goes under the door to stop the draft in the cold winter?
ReplyDeleteIs the 10 stitch the square? It looks very cool.
