And we are off


Finally, I have found the colours I like.I wanted something muted that could be worn with almost any colour.A pratical item for my wardrobe.I quite like the idea of it becoming a throw for my sofa. I love the coloured center next to the dreamy creamy aran weight, 1oo%wool from my stash (cant find label anywhere )The centers are all odds and ends from my stash.
.Really lovely motif , every flower looks so pretty.I am weaving all ends as I go ,adding further pleasure as I hate sewing ends but doing it as you go means once it is finshed it's ready to go .. I do hate sewing ends .Don't you ?

  3. I hate sewing full stop. I think that's why I chose my jacket to knit, all in one piece and just the side and sleeve seams to sew.
    I want to knit another throw, i really enjoyed making my first one.
    Good luck with yours!

  6. Yes! I am weaving in the ends as I go on my motif blanket as well. I saved them all for the end only once and I will NEVER do that again!

    The colors you're using are wonderful. The center of each flower really "pops"! :)
