WHEW!!! This baby is off the blocking bed!!! It measures 65" in diameter and is made from the pattern I designed. I used Valley Cotton Carpet Warp in Spectra Yellow…a 4 ply, heavy thread and 100% cotton… Ravelry Project Page
Yes, you read that right… Carpet Warp! It’s very soft and despite how it sounds, has not been trampled or imbedded with cat/dog hair or sand particles yet! LOL! It is actually 4 strands of size 8 thread, twisted together and it thicker than 5/2 but lighter than 3/2. Valley yarns produces it in a large variety of pretty colors and it’s inexpensive, knits well and blocks wonderfully… Can be ordered from Yarns.com(WEBS)
SUNSTAR (Available through Ravelry or Patternfish)
(shown in periwinkle and made into a Shawl)
Thank you, too! I always feel like another child has left the nest when one of these is done…:pout: And on the other hand, those last 10-12 rounds have so many stitches that it’s a relief to see them off the needles! :woohoo:
