Well the end is certainly in sight! I have knitted all 56 pieces of the Lizard Ridge blanket I started 18 months ago.
Mr Soknitsome offered a while back to arrange the pieces for me when it came to putting the blanket together. I’d laid the pieces out in piles of matching or closely matching blocks. Mr Soknitsome’s a mathematician and after counting various piles and discovering that nothing worked exactly with the finished size of seven rows by eight columns, I was sent out the room while he figured out a different system…
I got called back in to see the blocks laid out in colours with the few lighter ones towards the centre. Needless to say, I’m very pleased with the result.

Sally, that looks really great, but what a job to sew them up!

I know…I am making a blanket too, but I knit the pieces together as I go to avoid the stitching. But still it is a slow process 🙂

I couldn’t do that as the colour arrangement wasn’t set till after the knitting.
