Hi there!
Over the weekend we had some pretty ordinary weather. It was cool and wet and dreary, perfect for guilt free daytime crafty action. I had so much time I actually got my second star stitch blanket finished!
So here are some pictures!
Tadah.......
....all folded up nice and neat........
....and all spread out flopped over my very old sleepy hollow chair....
.......I do love these colours (if you haven't noticed before!!)
I have had a few comments regarding the star stitch and the formation of the little defining 'line' in between each row of stars, apparently it is a bit different to the tutorial I linked to in the Star Stitch post.
I will try and take a couple of photos to show how this line forms in my blanket.
It is actually the back loop of the hdcs that makes this line, it just appears as you crochet into each hdc.
Anyway, I will show you in a photo when I make another one soon.
Thanks for dropping by, hope you all have a great day!
This stitch makes your blanket very special! Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via pinterest and I absolutely LOVE this quilt! I have a few questions if you don't mind :D What type of yarn did you use? (I LOVE this color scheme!!) How many did you chain to achieve this length (or in general how many inches is it?) How many skeens of yarn did this take? Sorry full of questions but I love this!!! First time visitor here, will certainly be back!

ReplyDeleteMaravillosa!! los colores y el punto son preciosos

Love this blanket, and your star stitch is so neat! I have just done a test swatch and it is nowhere near as neat, I do get the line between rows though, on the wrong side the two colours overlap, does that seem right? Can I ask what size hook you are using as I think that's key?
