 Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 9:47 pm Post subject: Carola's Babette so Far |
 |
|
I have made some progress on April's theme - which is showers - and have been using the lovely colours which Carolinne sent me in the swap. Here's a few of the squares (I've done more now):
I'm not sure if I will do May's theme though, I might just finish April and wait for June.
Anyway, inspired by Binty's lovely quilt so far, I thought I would lay out my squares and see what the Babette blanket is looking like. So here it is:
I'm still enjoying doing it, so I'm not giving up!

It's mostly Garnstudio Karisma, which is DK, and some unknown stashed DK, and some Sirdar Click DK which is what I got in the swap.
I'm using DK insteadof fingering weight because I wanted a larger blanket, it seems to be working out alright. I'm actually using the saem size hook as in the pattern.

It's looking really impressive Carola, the colours are coming together beautifully.

I really love the asymmetry of it Carol, which surprises me inasmuch as I usually like things to be symmetrical. Your squares really work together.
It's going to be stunning.
