I am now two skeins in to the blue afghan:
(And I don't really have anything to say about it. It's been a pretty uneventful knit.)
The afghan currently measures 39 inches by 42 inches. I'm using Bernat Blanket yarn, color Dark Teal (10825). It's 74 stitches on size 11 needles. (I'm not sure how many rows I've knit. I'm not going to count.) The main stitch pattern is the Fancy Lozenge Pattern from Barbara Walker's A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns (page 17 of the edition I have). The borders are worked in moss stitch.
The technical information is for me. If I ever want to recreate this, it's easier to just have the info jotted down somewhere. This way, it's just a matter of searching my blog (although, I'll probably transfer this to Ravelry as well at some point).
Is your weather warming up? (I'm hoping for a couple more weeks of cold here so I can get the majority of this afghan done. It's not fun to do in warmer weather.)
I live in a place where woolens are never required. So can't share your excitement. But your afghan looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt's not for me. I rarely get cold enough to need it.
DeleteYou are making great progress. I like the pattern and yarn color.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt looks good.
ReplyDeleteWe’re getting snow tonight and tomorrow.
I'm sorry? Or is snow a good thing?
DeleteLove both the color and the pattern. Great work!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're making great progress. And yes, it's a little warmer in the high 30's this week. And it's sunny.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along! A little warmer today but chilling again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be nice if it would just warm up already, right?
DeleteThe afghan is coming along beautifully. We had a warmish weekend but the forecast calls for snow tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHere the temperature is inching its way up.
