Our first friendship blanket swatch! Dana and I were wishing for a project we could do together from afar, and we settled on making a swatch blanket. We'll each knit up (or weave, or felt, or crochet, or whatever!) 4" x 4" squares of whatever we feel like, and when we finally get together we'll sew them into a big, cozy, friendship-filled blanket! Details on the first swatch:
Yarn: Dana's handspun, from Malabrigo Nube roving, colorway "Diana". Spindle-spun and chain-plied, ~11 wpi
Pattern: knit from pinhole cast-on center, with 8 yarnover increases every other row (one on each side of the four spine stitches), with a messy-looking Russian bind-off because I apparently forgot how to do it, oops
Ahhhhh! oh man, now I've got to get on it! So exciting (does this mean you finished the socks)?
ReplyDeleteno, I decided to do the swatch first so I can use every last inch on the socks!
