Blanket spam!

[labellementeuse]

I finished and blocked this at my parents' place a week ago, but today was a good day for my dad to bring it round to my place because I've just sucked it up and admitted that the jumper I was 3/4 of the way through was going to be way, way too big, and cast on to reknit it. Sigh.

So it was very nice to get a reminder of this FO. It's a square blanket based on the deservedly popular Adamas Shawl.













Here's the Rav project page with details of my mods. This was an enormously fun knit - I had about ten balls of a yarn that I didn't really have any plans for and I decided more or less at random that I HAD to have a large lace blanket. Not sure why really, but it turned out fantastically, IMNSHO.

Hey mods - tags for blankets and lace would probably be useful. :)

That's really lovely. The colour is beautiful, and the lace obviously opened up just right.

Thank you! Yeah, I was thrilled with how it blocked out - yet another reminder of the Miracle of the Wet Block. The drape improved tremendously as well.

Wow, that's lovely!

Thank you!

I've added the requested tags. :) I'd kind of forgotten about this comm, so it's great to see renewed interest!


And wow, that blanket looks fantastic! It's the kind of amazing you'd buy furniture to match for the rest of your life, right?

I've been having a lot of fun seeing stuff pop up on my reading page - so nice to get some inspiration and see what others are doing.

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, it was just like I imagined it :)
