    About

    Erica is a lovely young lady who asked if she bought the wool would I knit her a striped blanket. I replied "no way, I've got a yarn stash to die for" and knew just what I would use.
    I have quite a "Yarn Stash" thanks to LoveKnitting. Most of my projects are knit with discounted yarns; the majority having been purchased from LoveKnitting.

    Pattern

    Shadow Cables Throw, Designed by Svetlana Avrakh

    This pattern is from:
    Big Needle Knits for the Home, American School of Needlework, Berne, IN46711 ASNpub.com

    Yarns

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 10.00mm (US 15) 80cm

    Accessories

    • Cable Needle
    • Stitch Markers
    • Tapestry Needle
    Other : I like to place stitch markers at side borders as a reminder of stitch change.
    The Blanket is fast to knit and perfect for knitters who want to create an impressive yet easy throw.

    Measurements

    Notes: - Size Approx 38 x 54 inches if Bulky (chunky) weight yarn used.
    - Since the yarn I used was different than the pattern suggested, I substituted with two strands of each color. With 4 strands in use, I frequently checked my work for any dropped strand(s). I was pleasantly surprised - the yarns were great to work with.
    - I am very happy with the texture of the yarns and the blanket is so soft and cuddly.
    At present LoveKnitting has the yarn I used on sale -- go for it - you won't be disappointed!
