I even picked up my shuttles and did some weaving on my Lime Log cabin last night. I'm hoping to get it finished and off the loom by Saturday so I can take it to the SpinDyeWeavers meeting to show everyone. Must remember to take the throw I made for Tiggi too.
In my last post I talked about a hexagon blanket I want to make in the future. I've been giving it some thought and started to look on Ravelry for inspiration. So far, these patterns are jumping out at me...
I love the bobble of this design. It's simple and effective however it is small so I would have to think how what extra rounds I would want to add.
My eye gets drawn to the motif in the centre of this block and I think it would be possible to adapt it so that the outer petals are a bobble style stitch. Also I like how you can use the same colours in each block but in a different place to bring it all together.
This block is quite striking and very unique. It uses the crocodile stitch which I love using and it has lots of texture. The only problem is that it's currently a square finish and I really want a hexagon, I'd have to adapt this to suit if I choose it.
Where we would be without the basic granny block? I just have to include this one as a strong contender. The simple design will make any feature block pop.
These have definately given me something to think about, I still need to think about the yarn I'll use. I'm leaning towards handspun yarn to make it really special. This leads to another question, what colours and fibre do I need to spin up? What weight yarn do I need to aim for?
Do you have any future projects in mind??
