The colours are much more vibrant than in the photo
Finished all my granny squares, now to join them together to make a cardigan. Not bad for first ever attempt...wish u could see the vibrant pinks and yellows. Need luck now to learn to join the squares..hahaha
I now have more squares on the go in earthy colours...hugs and love
Well done! Looking great so far, looking forward to seeing the finished work . Xx
Hi That looks good, I’m sure when it is all put together you will notice the colours better! There are great tips on uTube about how to connect them. That was exactly what I was looking at last tonight. Did you know there are 7 different ways of joining them! Are you following a pattern? Keep going, it’ll be great. It would be seen by possibly more people if you copy it to the Craft & Hobby Post!
Love Annette x
Hahaha.. me follow a pattern..or recipe for that matter...I usually start with a pattern but deviate..with this I saw a picture, counted the squares and scribbled the number down and basic design..etc..
Think that's why I gave my fairisle a rest, because I need to follow the pattern faithfully.
Teachers always said I needed to learn to concentrate hahaha
Are u working on anything at the moment Annette...your Easter baskets were gorgeous.
That looks great too. Far too complicated for me. My shawl is quite boring. It's plain knitting in a navy blue. Very simple. 2 rectangular pieces and sewn together half way.
It's actually for my son. When he was little he used to come down and wrap himself in one of my old ones. The new one he will inherit when I am gone. It's made of alpaca wool and really soft.
Sledge x
What a wonderful idea. And alpaca wool is lovely and nice to work with.
Funnily enough fairisle looks complicated but it is only ordinary knitting but using different colours.
I admit my eyes aren't what they used to be so I have to write the pattern down because following a grid I get muddled.. hahaha
Hence, now doing crochet squares...haha
