….. is "all" done ( still missing a border! ;oD ) !!!!!!!
At the moment, it measures approx 2,60cmX1,60cm….
It consists of 116 rows ( and each row has 168 shells!) of 3 DCs shells and of 116 anchor rows….
I've selected 33 colours for this project ( remember that I didn't use new yarns, because I was trying to reduce my yarn stash, so when a colour was finished, I had to find a similar one!!!!), so I repeated my stripes scheme 7 times….
I decided to keep all the threads at the sides of the blanket, most probably because I'm lazy, but I thought I could use them while completing the border ( a very simple one I admit!) ….
My boys still have to be patient before a proper use of the blanket (not too long!!!!!) ….
…. and what about you ladies????? ;oD

ReplyDeletethe first picture is gorgeous. who came up with the idea? They or you?
It looks like the thing that people do when they make angels in the snow.
I've laid the blanket on the floor and I asked my sons to go on, while I went upstairs to take the pictures. They were absolutely free to choose the poses they liked most!!!
