New blanket making...

Hello! Hope you're having a great day wherever you are! :) 

I have been making a new Wheels Within Wheels blanket recently. 

It is colourful and  fun, I really like this pattern, the wheels stick out for a great thick textural effect that I enjoy making. 

The pattern is by Frankie's Knitted Stuff and can be found on Ravelry.

I decided to make my wheels a bit bigger so added 2 extra rounds of colour, lots of opportunity fro colour play!  I am using a few different 8ply wools to get the colours I want, mainly Heirloom Colorworks, Baby Merino 8ply, Loyal 8ply and Cascade 220 Superwash.

I've made a couple of these before here and here if you want to see them. 

I have just started doing the background of each wheels now, I am using my favourite Silver Grey in Cascade 220 Superwash as a good neutral foil to all the colours.  I have 48 wheels so it will take a bit of time! 

 So I think that's it for the minute, hopefully I'll have the squares ready for joining soon, although I think they will need a fair bit of blocking as the corners are curling up a lot.  Have a great creative day peeps!
