Its been so long since i posted anything on my blog and thats due to the amount of time that went into knitting this…the lap blanket from all the silk yarn i purchased in Hanoi.
Once i was done seaming it i felt like i had conquered Mt. Everest. You think i jest but nooo…its been unseasonably warm in Singapore and knitting a silk blanket (or even seaming one) while its 30 degress or so inside is no picnic.
I have decided to embellish it with a Mexican lace trim, that i found in a pattern book, in a nice warm shade of yellow that just adds to the cheeriness of the blanket. The only problem i can foresee is that each flower takes me about an hour and i haven’t had alot of free time to knit and there’s alot of trim that needs to get done.
I couldn’t wait for it to be a proper finished object before i posted it so here is my semi-finished lap blanket.
