Harlequin - FINISHED!

 

Finally the Harlequin blanket is all finished! Every tail is sewn in and it's been blocked nicely.

 

 

 

 

Still have the ends of the retro circles pram blanket to sew in... still.

 

 

So! For the details.
I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 'Luxury' 10ply, 6x 200g balls so its a thick, heavy blanket (approx 1.2kg) and it measures 120cm x 90cm. It fits perfectly on the back of my two-seater couch, and is a great snuggle blanket or full sized cot blanket.

 

For those that may have missed it the first time I posted the link the pattern was from HERE.

 

I will write a post next week about some tips regarding the last row (the pattern calls for ending with row 4, which would mean one scalloped edge and one straight) and the edging.

 

It will have to be next week as we're leaving on a little family holiday as of tomorrow! YAY!

 

 

Have a fantastic week.

:{W.I.P Wednesday}:

It has been so long that some WIPs I had a few weeks ago are no longer in progress, but finished, and I've neglected to share... ooopsie... I'll have to write a post about what else I have been up to, but for now here are some current WIPs above.

The top left is going to be a traditional baby blanket, made from a lovely Wool/Mohair/Alpaca/Silk yarn.
Top right, well they're pretty much finished... well... except for those ends that need sewing in on the retro circles... I really MUST do it as I go with my next blanket.

Bottom left IS my next blanket (well, next after the cream one above it), and no I've not been sewing in the ends as I go. I'll go into greater detail with this blanket later as its had to take a back seat for now.

Bottom right is pink, quite offensively pink. Not sure if this project will take off as the rest of the yarn needed to trail my idea seems to have gone walkabout somewhere around the globe.




Ive also been to a fantastic place in Sydney, Reverse Garbage, and picked myself up some old coffee sacks. I have an idea that should be pretty fun to work with once I can put down the crochet hook and set up the sewing machine (sewing again? I know, huh? Utterly INSANE.... well, for me).



ALSO! Ive had some fantastic pics of 'retro circles' blankets & bumpy rainbows coming through to me! SO AWESOME! I will share with you when I can, as long as the owners allow me to. If you have something you want to share feel free to send it through to me via email here or Facey OR even on Instagram, my names @threebeansinapod .

So what have you been up to?? Do tell!
