CANNONBALL!!!

I did it! I finished the blankies! This was not an easy project, all my fault. If I had listened to Joanne at Glimakra USA, this would have been a 6 or 8 shaft pattern. But me? I jump right in to the 12. Cannonball!!! Quite the splash. At least it's not a belly flop. It turned out okay. The randomly placed colors in the warp give it a stripey look. I'd like to see the pattern done with a thicker yarn, like a 3/2.  

Here's front and back.

  1. I'm so glad you left a comment at my blog as I've just had a delightful read here at yours!

    Your blankies are great... love the pattern! I admire your jumping in and using all 12 shafts. That's a lovely loom by the way!

    I hope you don't mind but I'll be adding your blog to my list at Thrums.

  2. Hi Karen,
    Love your new site and your gorgeous weavings and knitted lace and cardigan.
    Nice new loom. Can't wait to see what patterns and projects you'll be up to
    next.
    You are the only person I know who makes hand-made socks aside from my
    beloved grandma, obm, and her booties.
    Have fun spinning, creating and sharing. You're awesome.
    Love the photos and your mom's pastels.
    BlesSings, Joy
