Procrasti-knitting Part 2

Cushions, cushions, cats and a knitted throw

What to do with all the left over natural yarns from the cushions?  Make a throw!

The cushions are now the cats' property.  (Introducing Mikey - the big lilac cat, Lottie - the chocolate, and Olive - the cinnamon.

Procrasti-knitting - waiting for inspiration

I feel I have been really lacking inspiration for the doll-making lately.  However you can't keep fingers 'silent' so I am knitting, knitting knitting.

Haha not sure what I will do with them, but there's some mice on the knitting needles now!

Krista Throw - completed

Krista Throw - completed!

25 balls of wool, thousands of trebles, doubles and chain stitches, too many hours and cramped fingers.... I have finished, and it's really rather gorgeous!  (Just another spare hour or so needed to weave in the loose ends!)

So pleased!

Krista Throw - Blocks Together

So, I've sewn all the blocks together - still looks pretty raw, but gives a fantastic idea of what the finished throw will be.  Lots of extra thread to sew in, and then to start the border....it may be some time....

Krista Throw - extra block - Granny Heart

An extra block - Granny Heart

The heart is crocheted separately from the block itself, then sewn on...a useful technique to get a block that is different...learned how to do a picot edge!

 

 

And this block has an extra row added to the edge, so after the dc edge which is standard, I have added a lacey edge of dc, 2 ch, skip 1 dc, dc etc.... In the corner 1 dc 2ch 1dc into the corner dc.

 

This may make the joining of the blocks easier, but tie will tell.

 

Onwards...
