Martin Storey KAL Blanket .... it's a wrap!
I LOVE this blanket! The "Calm" colour way is just that....very calming, stylish and very sophisticated! (You don't have to be a Facebook person to view my gallery of photos on Facebook. Go on, click and have a look!) All 8 "stages" (squares) were knit exactly as per the patterns as provided on the Rowan Yarns web site, in the shades as designated by the Calm colour way. 6 squares of each design. NO MODS!!! The make up chart, well, I have to tell you that sewing up is my bugaboo! So I started studying the finished afghan photo to decide on square placement! While I did get one strip wrong, it really didn't matter in the big scheme of things...and Rowan took my hint and released the make up diagram early (yeah!). The edge was knit with only one little twist....the edge has this cool braided effect (as provided by my knit buddy Stella).....I had to get my head around how this worked...... this is a garter stitch trim, knit two rows...
