  4. I have to echo my love for the color; it's so soothing and calm. The knitting looks beautiful as always; I look forward to seeing full pictures ;)

  5. Very pretty! And such a relief that you didn't write "taunt." The substitution of "taunt" for "taut" must be my number-one-least-favorite common mistake with the English language.

  42. So pretty. Is it the back side of your wool flower (that sounds kinda dirty)?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Some gorgeous knitting in that project. I still have to remind myself that it's going to be a (humble?) blanket. It still amazes me what can be done with one really long length of string....

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mary's comment above is hilarious.

    This is F-ing GORGEOUS!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Beautiful. I love well photographed knits. How big is this thing?

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love the texture and the colour, really great with that flower pattern. But what will it become out of it? It looks so finished already, but I recall you said it was going to become a blanket? Nice however, as a table cloth or as blanket!!!

    ReplyDelete

  51. Blocking: when all is revealed. Yes, that's probably the best part (next to wearing/wrappng/using). It's beautiful! I wait with bated breath for the directions!

    ReplyDelete
  52. It's so spectacular it doesn't even look real . . . beautiful.

    ReplyDelete

  56. I read knitting blogs every day hoping to run across a 'juicy' one: a pattern find, a wonderful FO that's an inspiration, the thrilling modifications the blogger generously shares. Your entry fits all my definitions. Thanks for being out there in blogland. Your lap blanket is wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Beautiful -- I'll be digging out the old doily patterns with new interest as autumn sets in!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. it's just lovely. My kid wants a new blanket and I'm trying to decide if i love her enough to knit lace.

    ReplyDelete
  59. that's awesome. now i'm inspired to try some different patterns with worsted weight and big needles. i'm doing two shawls with cobweb weight and i have tons of needles smaller that a size 5, so it'd be a welcome change.

    ReplyDelete
  60. You are brilliant and an inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  61. It is gorgeous. You inspire me to attempt to make a lap blanket.

  62. Another perfect rendition of two old standards! I love fan & feather and have used it often but never to this, amazing end! Enjoy it this Fall and congrats on grad school.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Does it say anywhere how much yarn you used? Or what sized needles? That is so gorgeous that I want to make one myself. If it says that and I missed it, I apologize.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Um, yes, it does say. Guess I just hadn't read far enough yet . . . .
