Well, it looks like the blanket is 'evening out' in a way. The stitches are getting to be a bit more normal, and it looks like the blanket will be about the right size. Maybe a bit smaller than the picture, but not as small as I'd originally feared. Also, now that I'm more comfortable with the Continental stitching, it's going a lot faster than normal. However, my hands still aren't used to it, and I think I'm holding onto the needles a bit too 'hard'. My hands ache after a row and I have to stop for a few minutes.
It's likely either that I need to relax them a bit more, or I'm just not used to the motions with this method yet.
Where be the peektures?
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of the baby blanket just yet. Not really enough of it to get a good pic of. But I will soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are pictures of the hat you made me on my blog if you want 'em.
