Souths Blanket rework

Hi everyone

Those who have been around for a while



You may remember this



Did not quite fit D2's requirements (it was a surprise remember)
So I got it back off her last night
Started to undo the border
My poor arms were aching after the three rounds of colour
I then remembered something I had bought, but had not yet used
Wondered if it would work with wool I was undoing
Gave it a whirl



and before you know it
a job that could have been difficult and sad (the undoing part)
became such fun I had to remember to stop



Why did I not know about yarn winders before
Not that I did a lot of unpicking

So now the Souths Blanket looks like this


Will keep you updated

  1. What a shame you have to unpick it , I thought it was lovely. Does she want it bigger?

  2. Yipee... winder in the house...you go girl. My favorite toy ever. So much cheaper than the physical therapy I had to have on my shoulder. You blanket looks great. Love the deep colors.

    Still cleaning up 14000 pictures.. yuck... but nice to have a clean house on the new pc.

  5. That winder sure did come in handy. It might be worth getting one, since I am always pulling things out to redo.
