Notes: 

This blanket uses Lily Sugar & Cream crochet yarn, woven from 12 donated skeins in a variety of colors. Each 2.5 oz skein holds 120 yards. It was quite challenging to come up with a pleasing pattern with the colors I was given. Two of my guildmates supplemented from their stash to help make sure I didn't run out. I tried to minimize the bright red. It didn't seem to fit with the other muted colors, but works nicely in a "limited" engagement. The final crib blanket should be 36" x 52", sett at 8 epi in plain weave, with a 15% take-up and shrinkage allowance. It will be donated with a handmade toy to a local organization that serves needy families.

This was my first project ever.  I made a major mistake in it - I missed a yellow stripe totally when I warped it.  I didn't notice that error for several weeks, and overall, I was pretty happy with this.

Notes: 

I wove 36 six inch squares on the 6" Multi Loom and crocheted them together. I finished the blanket in the washer on gentle and in the drier until just damp, then finished drying it on the bed to 'block'. It turned out well, soft and a little fluffy, & did not shrink. More info on my blog.

Notes: 

 BERNAT Baby Boucle'  is a Bulky yarn.  The skein was 10.5 ounces and approximately 546 yards.  It is 97% acrylic and 3% polyester.  The warp is 100% cotton.  I think this should wash & wear very nicely.    The color is "water slide" and it looks like water in the Caribbean somewhere.  Nice shades of blue, hint of purple and green.  It is beautiful and looks like you're on the beach somewhere.

I originally put about 30 yards of warp on the loom.  I've made dishtowels, a rug, and now this baby blanket.  I'm about to the end and then I can change warp, yeah!  I've probably got enough warp to do one more blanket or rug on it so I'm not sure how much longer this blanket will be on the loom but it is finished except for cutting and fringe twisting the ends.  I love my fringe twister.

In my Handwoven magazine this month they are talking about double weaving.  You can actually weave twice the width on your loom.  I'm excited about trying that.  Has anyone else tried it?  How did it go for you?

 

 This baby blanket is finally off the loom and measures 33" x 38".  I am asking $40 for it.  It turned out lovely.
