Tweedy Feather and Fan Blanket

 

As promised, here are the photos of the never-ending blanket that has ended! I need a ticker tape parade (hopefully you all know what that is). I enjoyed the beginning and the end of the blanket and the middle was taking forever. I am taking a break from blanket knitting until the fall.

The yarn is wool-ease which is hard on my hands. The pattern is Old Faithful - feather and fan stitch which I've mentioned before reminds me of my mother who loved this pattern and made this as baby blankets for many babies in her lifetime.

  5. It turned out beautiful. Feather and fan is such a classic pattern. Never goes out of style. I do know what a ticker tape parade is. Does this make me old?

  14. Well done, and it's gorgeous ! Obviously I'd never heard of a ticker tape parade ( maybe due to me not being American ? ), but thank google. Too bad I don't live near; I'd have been happy to come around with my paper shreds of course ;-)

  16. It's beautiful Karen, a work of art and definitely a labour of love. I think all my blankets have taken forever. I get restless and wish do other things, the longer I dally the longer it takes. If I focused it'd probably be done in a couple of months. Cx

  19. Your blanket came out wonderful! It's squishy and will be easy to clean. I will be making cookies that will serve as my grandmother's birthday gift and I will also be making cupcakes for her birthday luncheon. I want to try to pipe different flowers on each cupcake in pastel colors.
