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.
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).
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!
AHHHH, they ALL look beautiful! Look very cozy..my fav is #2.

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