BabyBlanketNo8

 I finished my own design BabyBlanketNo8. I used Schachenmayr's KidLight yarn for the blanket (38% nylon, 32% polyacryl and 30% mohair) (100g = 600m).

I used left over woollen yarn for the embroidery to attach the crochet flowers. I used also left over yarn to crochet the flowers. It is for a baby girl but blue flowers do just fine.

I knit the blanket and crocheted the edges. I used knitting machine for the knitting so it indeed was a fast thing to do, despite MyKnittingMachine works only with man power.

I made the pics at the same time with BlanketNo7 in -18 Celsius dergees when it was rising up a snow storm. This blue shade is typical for the arctic climate. The pics have no filter.

Oh my Yule, Yule, when will you be there...

Well, today I had a date...

...with Eva!

She is my knitting machine. I inherit her from my grandmother a decade ago. It's been few years since our last date so we needed to chat a bit to get it all sorted out.

I needed Novita Wool yarn

(100% wool) (50g = 135m)

Now I am mixing some Novita Säde yarn with it by crocheting...

(58% acryl, 28% polyester, 7% mohair, 7% polyamide) (50g = 205m)
