Hand knit blanket
The obsession continues.
Following up on the most recent post, imagine my surprise when I went to Michael's today and found this yarn:
The yarn usually retails for $35.99 per skein, but it was on sale today for 50% off. So of course, I bought 3 skeins.
The price on these go for about $395 from boutique stores like the Citizenry. A smaller weave retails from about $150 from Crate and Barrel.
I followed a hand-knitting tutorial from youtube here, from a local boutique based here in Denver.
This is unspun wool, which comes apart a lot easier than you'd think. I ended up with one of these:
Oops.
I started by chain stitching 19 stitches across the bed.
I then followed the tutorial to hand knit a row.
I continued to hand knit the entire skein.
It ended up taking 3 skeins to make a throw, about the size of a queen bed.
This was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Soft, squishy, and warm!
If there's enough interest, I may end up listing these on my Etsy shop.
Until next time!
