mio … I would totally keep this blanket for myself!
I’ve got the Settlers of Catan blanket all joined together. At least, I thought I did, until I went to take this picture (which shows the colours beautifully) :
(well, ok, it’s not that shiny in person…)
It turns out I missed joining the sides of two of the water hexes together. I’ll get that sorted out quickly, though.
Here is a picture of it on a queen-sized bed:
It measures about 5′6″ at its longest, and just under 5′ at its shortest.
Questions:
I tried sewing the number 3 on one of the “disks” and didn’t like how it turned out at all. How would you do it?
Secondly, do you think it needs a border? I’m learning towards adding one, but am unsure of whether that should be a size-adding border (probably a round of dc) or just something to finish it off (maybe some backwards sc). I might need to buy more yarn if I decide to put a border on, but I’ll have to do some stash diving first to be sure.
What do you think?
P.S. This is intended for sale at Big On Bloor. Unless I just can’t bear to part with it. ^_-

hum… I think a boarder would finish it off nicely seeing as all the other coloured hexes have a boarder.
How are you sewing the numbers on? Are they felt or something and you are attaching them, or are you embroidering/cros sstiching them on?
I tried embroidering them on, using a chain stitch, I think (I was just winging it). I was using two strands of the same yarn the blanket is made with and it was really bulky. I might try a single strand and see what happens.
I also vote for border. What about a round of sc in the cream colour? Would give it visual definition.
