Beneath the Sea

Yay!!! Finished, finished, finished!
I have really enjoyed every aspect of making this blanket. Some squares I loved more than others but on the whole I just loved it. Even the dreaded silver yarn that so many members of the mystery blanket club detested I liked because once you got the hang of it the yarn lifted the whole blanket.
Well, it's going to have a home at our holiday house in Northern NSW as we are near the beach. Taking it down there tonight so I can't wait to see how it looks.
I have enrolled in Debbies' blanket for next year so that's it for this blog.

Mystery Blanket Almost Complete

Well today I finished sewing all the squares together and they look fab! I just have to knit the beaded borders and hopefully that won't take too long. I have so enjoyed this project and have signed up for another one next year!

Month 9

Wow we have only one month to go on this mystery blanket called 'Beneath the Sea'. I am really enjoying it and have done all the way through. The blocks are all repetative now except for the shell intarsia this month. Looking forward to next month and seeing what the centre block will be.

Only 2 Months To Go!!

I am up to date this month and just have to block the finished squares. Only 2 months to go now and the blanket is nearing completion. I think that its looking really good and I have enjoyed making it. Some of the squares are much easier and are very quick to make. Others such as the intarsia squares are a bit more fiddly using 6 or 7 different yarns at a time but still keeps the whole blanket interesting. Septembers' parcel should arrive next week!

May Sqaures Done!

Catching up!

Well I didn't want this to happen but I am 3 months behind in my mystery blanket! I went to Hong Kong and China on a Textile tour in May and have been playing catch up ever since. I have just done 8 days of Koala conventions and have begun some lovely textile projects but am now getting back into the Mystery Blanket. I have completed 2 blocks from the 5th month and now that I don't have any more workshops for ages I can concentrate on updating my blanket which won't take long! Stay tuned for some more photos!

Month of April

The fourth month of knitting arrived before Easter and so I had a lovely week knitting up the 5 squares. A couple of repeated blocks but that was good because having done them before it took no time at all. Another intarsia fish, cables and beads....all good!
