Hello dear ladies
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last post. Jemimah's mum is thrilled!
I have finished the blanket and here it is.......
I had started a really lovely cluster edging but realised that I wouldn't have enough yarn, so I did my trusty picot edging.....
This is a poor photo but I wanted to show you the join. I used a very quick and nifty method that my clever sister devised....not sewing and not crochet...sort a mixture of both. It leaves a very strong flat seam....
It is much bigger than I had planned but it is certainly snuggly and Jemimah will grow into it! I have been asked to crochet some sun hats for Jemimah so more hooking this afternoon.
Enjoy your week xxx
I think that sorts Jemima's snuggle needs right up to teen years.A gorgeous rainbow comfort blanket for a gorgeous little girl.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is quite lovely. I would love to know that nifty connecting stitch. It finishes those seams just right. ~Kelly

Thank you ladies! I am happy to post on how to do the joining if people would like to see it xx
ReplyDeleteAndrea, Your blanket is just stunning. Can a cozy blanket ever be to big? I think not...Jemimah is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is oh so pretty and I am sure it will be much loved.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, such a pretty gift to be cherished, lucky Jemimah!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous blanket for a gorgeous little girl. I love the colours you've used and the join is brilliant.

The squares are bigger than I thought, and I like that. It is really striking that way. Cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely blanket! Soft sweet colours, and it drapes beautifully. What yarn did you use, Andrea? I saw some on the internet that looks like it'd be lovely for blankets - Knitpicks Comfy Worsted - 75% cotton 25% acrylic and gorgeous range of colours - but you can't get it in the UK :(
