I think I can get my Pinwheel Blanket (afghan) finished before the end of July.
During the past week there has been some no-sew grafting. Most of the units that I have knitted so far have been been joined into four-patch pinwheel blocks.

All the yarn ends that met in the centre of each block have been darned in.
All the blocks have been steam blocked (see
yesterday's post) - the "star" shape in the previous photo would make joining difficult so blocking was necessary.

A layout has been decided but I don't want to spoil the final reveal so no picture just yet!
24 more blocks need to be knitted and grafted and then I can join all the blocks together, starting like this:

I think I can!
Great work Lynne, I love the colours. I am working on a hexagon throw at the minute but I have a long way to go yet but I would like to have it finished by August......Hopefully :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Love all the bright colors too. Thanks for the comment on my blog, I think Isabelle is a bit of a misery guts this week for photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that you are grafting as you go instead of sewing all the seams-very smart! This is going to be a stunning afghan!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I think *I* can't. LOL. You are really doing an amazing job. I'm crocheting right now. Two blankets. Someone in our knitting bee (we meet weekly) is knitting a really cool vintage sock.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing more.
