I feel like I need to do a little pat on my own back. I have powered through a whole metric ton of bulky weight knitting. I have reached the halfway point on my Zen Yarn Garden Chevron Baby Blanket.
I have used up just under half of the blue and grey yarn. And then I added in the middle color block of red. Instead of measuring these rows I simply knit until I ran out of red. This took just over 1.4 skeins of bulky red yarn out of my stash FOREVER….bwahahahaha.
I think the solid middle section in that pop kind of color really add to the color blocking of it all. And makes the blanket less sedate and more fun. It kind of blows out on camera but I adore it in real life.
And smart Rachelle decided to start weaving in my ends. I plugged on some episodes of The Good Place and went to town with my darning needle. I got all the loose ends woven but I’ll wait to trim them until after its washed and blocked. I only have four stripe sections left and this blanket will be done!
Happy Knitting!!
Wow that is really coming along quickly. It’ll be ready for the cold weather…although you maybe already have it pretty cold?
It’s supposed to snow on American Thanksgiving here in Kansas 😔
That’s going to be so awesome and cozy!
That looks great. The second half of knitting always goes faster than the first, so you will be done in no time.
lookin good
Such great color choices! It’s a gorgeous blanket. 😁
Looks amazing! I’ve started dealing with the yarn ends as I go along on projects with lots of colour changes. It makes the finishing process less of a chore – I hate darning them in!
That is looking wonderful! Good idea to deal with the ends as you go – makes finishing so much easier 🙂
