Susan's Woven Stripes Blanket
I finished knitting Susan's Woven Stripes blanket last week.
The edges of my blanket were quite ruffled (probably due to the acrylic yarn I used); however, I followed WoolWinder's tip to "kill" the acrylic. The blanket now has a nice drape and shape. Directions on how to kill acrylic can be found here.
Thank you, Bonnie for helping me set up a Google Document page to share the pattern. Your directions worked perfectly.
Update: at WoolWinder's request, here is a view of the back.
Such a pretty stitch pattern! What does it look like on the back?
ReplyDeleteThis is timely as I just finished an acrylic cardigan. I knew I would have to kill the acrylic to get the drape I needed.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful Nancy, thanks for the pattern. I just printed it up.
ReplyDeleteOh my that looks hard to me.....You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blanket!! That's a fabulous pattern. This blanket is extra special.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the pattern. I think it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, it does look very complicated. But, ooh it would use some of the excess yarn I have hanging around. But what would I stop so I could do this? Quilting, knitting socks, counted cross stitch small projects? Decisions, decisions! I'll keep the pattern for a future use. Glad the instructions for loading the pattern worked for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty, I love the design:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty blanket!!! And I love your hardwood floors!!!
ReplyDeleteIT is a woven lovely!! Wonderful blue and white put together
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome blanket! Thanks to you, Susan and Bonnie for sharing the pattern. Gosh it might even lead me to cast on for one of the special babies due in the spring.
ReplyDeleteNancy--that is really pretty! Was it hard?
ReplyDeleteFun pattern, thanks!
ReplyDeletethat is a lovely blanket - thanks for sharing the pattern. That might make a much better handknit gift for the groom than the hemlock. I'm making shawls for the bride, the bridal party, the MOG, MOB, and SMOB - the groom should get something, no? g
