FO Blanket
Nov. 22nd, 2007 09:03 pmFinally finished!
Just wanted to post what I think is the first weaving project that I can't find any mistakes on (doesn't mean they aren't there, just means I can't see them...)
Last Notes:
Given that this was Lion Brand Suede, I had the option of either tying each strand of the fringe or fray checking... I fray checked... using Nail Growth nail polish. I had it on hand and this type has protein and dries clear with a matte finish. That's 160 nails x 2 strands per nail X 2 ends per strand x 2 sides = 960 drops of nail polish... Whew!
With fringe this was about a 40 hour blanket.
I can't imagine knitting a blanket that size in that amount of time... At least, not yet...

I am literally going to cry when I mail this out for Christmas...
