Not long now and the blankets will be complete. it’s been fun watching them grow and trying out all the different patterns that Yvonne has sent us. Some have been more challenging than others and last week’s was no exception.
The pattern repeat was over 14 stitches (alternating panels of 7 stitches each, one of which used cable technique to make a gorgeous leaf design. Both panels had increases and decreases, so I used stitch markers between each group of 14 stitches to keep track of the pattern repeat. Here are some of our attempts at the Week 13 design. Once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it and knitted a few more rows with a pale peachy yellow..
Avril’s fawn coloured blanket is looking great.
And now it’s time for the next one!
Yvonne writes,”Hi guys, I bet you’re all glad that unlucky 13 has been and gone so we will have an easy week this week. It’s a small basket weave so there should be no problems.

So that’s pretty straightforward as Yvonne says – a basketweave or checkerboard pattern of alternating plain and purl blocks of 3 stitches and 3 rows.
Not long to go now! Keep sending in the photos!
