I'm working on Fixit's blanket. I am determined to use up some of my fabric and yarn stash - so I can justify getting more. ;) So, I decided to make it challenging. I've had this pink for Fixit since last fall, the funny thing is that Grandma made her Christmas vest out of the same color. Then, I start working on her blanket and she told me that she doesn't like pink anymore. Hmm, really? Yep, my favorite color is blue. sigh Here's what it is starting to look like:
It's the first time that I'm purposefully switching colors before I just run out of a skein. I'm following the Clever Blocks pattern from the book I'm reading - because I'm horrible at following a pattern. I finally have this one figured out, but it sure involves juggling the skeins of yarn, because the colors are carried up the side.
Here's the book:
I got mine at Hobby Lobby with a 50% off coupon, but I think it would have still been worth the $24, because there is a ton of information in here - along with picture diagrams for every stitch. I can't follow the pictures, but somethings it just helps to see where the stitch is supposed to be.
So many blankets on today's blog hopping. Great blanket...too bad she no longer likes pink :)
