Here's the Problem

I like the blankets, but I'm not thrilled with the plain weave border. It is wider than the rosepath pattern. I can live with it, but next time I'll just do the pattern for the whole length.

  2. I think they look wonderful! (And certainly cozy on this 9 degree morn!) Have you tried using a thinner yarn for your plainweave headings when the body is a twill derivative? It works for me, but involves investment in yet more yarn (sigh...explains all the odd cones I have around here).

  3. Thanks, Valerie. I use sewing thread for ~1/4 to turn under, but never thought about it for the plainweave. Too bad you can't do the same as knitting, just increase after the heading!

    How about a simple twill for the header? That would be about the same width as the main pattern.
