The Blanket

I have been seeing this blanket and similar ones to it popping up all over pinterest.  I love this blanket.  One day I just couldn't have it enough and decided that come hell or high water... i was going to figure out how to make one. 
So I did!
It was quite the process and my arms may or may not have hurt after :)
but I did it!




 

It took awhile to get the wool.  I had to order it from a farm in the states.  I've found one local to use now (which is great).  The ball of wool was sitting on the couch as big as a person next to my Himalayan.  You could see the defeat in her eyes :)



I actually used a new knit stitch that I love and have been using
                                                            it in a lot of things.


I have decided to sell them, because I really enjoyed the process.  It's a lot of work and not necessarily a big   money maker or anything, but I enjoy the hobby.

You can find them at Hobbyfelt on Etsy.

Feel free to check out my little modest shop!

Have a great day!
