Its been months and many, many metres of yarn in the making but my silk blanket is finished!
It first looked like this…
“Silk Yarn from Hanoi”
From that it began to be knit like this…
“Blanket – first attempt”
Which really wasn’t working for me. It was boring and cumbersome to knit so i decided to frog that and knit up squares which are portable and would not suffocate me in this heat. All the squares done and seamed and i decided it needed a nice trim to finish it off. I found a lace trim by Barbara Abbey, Mexican lace i think, and it began to look like this about 60% of the way through…
“Seamed Blanket”
“Lace Close-up”
Each lace ‘Sun’ took about an hour to knit and here after many hours and some glorious silk from Vietnam to line the back is my finished blanket 
Makes me happy just looking at it!
