Make: Secret Knit

This weekend, I picked up the knitting needles again for the first time since January. No, the crochet blanket isn't finished, but I'm making something secret for a friend. Of course, that means no pictures for now, but they will follow later, after the grand unveiling!

EDIT

And here it is, the final blanket! They are bias-knit rainbow squares, all put together into a baby-size blanket. I love this pattern so much, don't be surprised if you see me make one for myself at some point...

Update: Tetris Blanket

I'm at home-home visiting the 'rents this weekend, so not much craftiness going on. In the absence of a finished Focus Project, I thought I'd offer this picture of my Tetris wool-rainbow!

I reckon I could get a maximum of 16 squares from each ball, meaning I can have, at most, four of each Tetris shape, so I've drawn out a pattern for that many. However I think that might finish with a MAHUSIVE blanket...

The squares are each about 9cm so 10 x 16 squares would be... 90cm wide and 144cm long, and that's without any border... Too big? Or suitably snuggly?

Make: Tetris Blanket

A friend sent me this link a while ago to Fluffy Owl's crochet Tetris blanket. Since I taught myself how to crochet in March this year, this really appealed to me.

I drew myself a pattern involving seven rainbow shades, bought some cheap acrylic wool from Wool Warehouse and adapted  Little Tin Bird's solid granny square, and set to work on the 180 squares I was going to need for the pattern.

Watch this space to see how it progresses!
