LOl.<br /><br />I would have love to do a woolen blanket, but I decided as this is my first one, and need to watch the $$ I might do an acrylic. At 2 balls for $3 and it feels alright, (and i loved the sherbet-y colours) i couldn't resist. I am pretty new to needed alot of yarns around and I will thought, start making some purchases at Bendigo Wool Mills (I have a friend who buys from them too and she says they are really lovely). <br /><br />Anyway thanks again. I can't wait to see what you have done, as I am dying to do some more rows, but I didn't want to go too far ahead as to miss out on that doing to together feel. If you could maybe tell us a couple of patterns you'll be doing next? :) xBekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420357815435941090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-43365502583262996642012-08-13T20:47:02.746+10:002012-08-13T20:47:02.746+10:00Hi Greedy Nan, I found this book to be a good gui...Hi Greedy Nan, I found this book to be a good guide to stitch patterns that I could use when doing my own blanket designs, it is nice and clear and a good starting point for creative thinking (for me anyway!) If you are an experienced crocheter it might be a bit boring, but I think it is a great reference book1 Hope this helps with your decision! :) Jlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-13364740816677138412012-08-13T20:35:16.005+10:002012-08-13T20:35:16.005+10:00Beke, I am using pure wool, just because I like it...Beke, I am using pure wool, just because I like it, ( you can use whatever you like though) I get it from a local shop in Mornington (I live in Victoria), I am going to start supplying some of the regular ones I use as soon as I save enough money for an order, hopefully in a couple of weeks! :) Jlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-35414464165796222662012-08-13T20:28:35.426+10:002012-08-13T20:28:35.426+10:00Hi Jacq, I am using US terminology, but will put t...Hi Jacq, I am using US terminology, but will put the UK equivalent in brackets, I don't think you need the book to do my blanket, I will try and show you how to do the patterns I am using, but having said that, there are lots of other nice patterns in this book that are nice to have a look at, so it is really up to you! :) Jlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-76951644986121558782012-08-13T20:25:18.175+10:002012-08-13T20:25:18.175+10:00Hi Claudia, I understand what you mean, I think th...Hi Claudia, I understand what you mean, I think there will be a bit adjusting in some rows if the pattern doesn't fit the stitch count perfectly, For the base row I think just make it as wide as you want, as the different patterns can be fitted in as we go, I think it will only effect the last bit of each row of pattern, so it isn't too much of a problem ( I am not a complete perfectionist though, so it might bother other people!) :) Jlittlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-88259242169556376382012-08-13T20:12:38.031+10:002012-08-13T20:12:38.031+10:00I love a new project too, it is the best bit I rec...I love a new project too, it is the best bit I reckon!
