Wet Blanket

...well not for long, what with the dry air of the desert!

cats, as usual, included for scale - Finished in less than a month...actually it appears (according to Ravelry) that I may have finished in about a half a month! As you can see, the blanket is rather non-aggressively blocked - I figure as a blanket, it will just wind up relaxing back down rather quickly, so I didn't bother getting out all the pins to pin it out like a trampoline - though I'll bet that if I did, I'd gain another foot or more of diameter...in case you're wondering, that blanket is already just over 6 feet across - my cat is very very long. As always, you can find more details on the finished objects blog :)

oh, and congratulations to Eva for being selected by the random number generator - the book is on the way :)

A diversion...

...from fine gauge knitting.

I've had this blanket in my queue for a long long time (let's not speak of the other poor blanket that has been mostly abandoned since last October with only 4 measly miters to its name...maybe I should put that back on the needles, or maybe even make it my travel knitting)



Anyhow, behold the beginning of my Hemlock Ring - I had a big bag of berrocco Foliage at my disposal, and I couldn't think of anything better to put this yarn towards (bulky, somewhat thick and thin)...after all, I certainly don't need a bulky weight sweater down here in the land of 100+ degree days!
