Lesson of the Day

I tried out my double-ended circular hooks last night. Well, they didn’t really work for what I wanted to do, though.

What I wanted to do was this:
red wedge

What IS “this”?

Well, it’s my attempt at the short row tunisian dishcloth pattern in a blanket size. There’s six wedges, and I love rainbows, so it seemed natural to do six colours in rainbow order.

So I started the orange wedge:
red and orange wedges

Now, I started with a full ball of the red and had lots left over. I started with a full ball of the orange and ran out about three and a half rows short. No big deal! Just another excuse to go stash diving.

No more orange? $@#&!

I could probably get away with one less row, but three? And a half?

Luckily I found some in the scrap stash, but is it enough?

It was! And I’d love to show you a picture of it. But the batteries in my camera died after taking this shot:
Lollipop baby blanket

I think it’s the finished Lollipop blanket. Do you think it needs a border?
