Blankety Blob

Girasole In ProgressI thought I'd do a work in progress shot of the circular blanket that I'm knitting. I've been working on this on and off since June and the finish is almost in sight. I currently have 640 stitches on the needles and I have twelve rounds to knit before I start working on the edging. This blankety blob is keeping my lap nice and warm while I knit. Cosy! EDIT : I've just noticed that this is my five-hundredth blog bost. Woohoo!

  1. That looks so great, I hope this project hasn't produced as much swearing as your lovely stole!

  2. No it hasn't! There was one touch-and-go moment where I thought it was going to have to be frogged but I corrected the offending mistake (took me two hours to pick up the stitches after ripping back a few rounds) and the blanket lives!

    Can't wait to complete and block it.

  5. Those have got to be very long needles to hold 640 stitches!
