Fast blanket

Okay, can't talk long cuz I've got to get to work, but here is what I've accomplished this week.


Hemlock Ring Blanket - after blocking


This is the Hemlock Ring Blanket from Brooklyn Tweed.


As always, before blocking, the lace pattern looked like ass.

But after blocking, even clumsy, unsophisticated blocking like mine, the project looked right pretty.

And finally, the socks that I've been working on. I worry that they are a little tight, but I think they should be okay.

Now off to work!

love the hemlock, what yarn did you use?

I saw this on Brooklyn Tweed, too, and loved it! I look out for new and useful ways to incorporate doily motifs (I love making doilies, but don't like displaying them) & this definitely stood out. How long did it take you?

The yarn is Harrisville New England Highland in Dove Grey. It took me about a week from yarn purchase to pulling the pins from the blocking, but the last couple repeats felt like they lasted lifetimes.
