My wool eater is finally finished!
it is 146cm square and weighs 1698gms
I'm pleased with the edging,
I think the straight edge gives it a really finished look.
A big thank you to everyone who has been so interested in this project, it always feels amazing to finish a blanket, it is already in use in our home.
there is also a Ravelry group here for this CAL

ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely compliment about my wool eater, it is a favourite of mine ;)
I made some notes on my Ravelry page about the edging so have copied and pasted them here for you.
Edging
worked 1 round = 1/2 pattern giving the edging a straight edge
Then I worked a round of dc (sc in US terms) working 3dc ontop of each 5ch space and at corners I worked (1dc, 2ch, 1dc).
then I worked another 9rounds of dc working (1dc, 2ch, 1dc) in the corners.
I hope this helps you,
Gillian :)
incredibly helpful. many thanks! :)
