    About

    I am obsessed with all things celtic (I'm Irish) and my husband and I thought it would be neat to make a hand made heirloom. It is a large project but Id love to keep it as a sofa throw. Cascade 220 comes the most beautiful shade and it is an affordable superwash. I chose wool because it is hardy and because we live in far Northern Canada and winters are cold. I would recommend choosing a bigger yarn unless you fall in love with a specific colour of yarn in the 220 range. I love the colour but the pattern is meant for a full worsted weight yarn.

        Hi! I just started it, I probably have 7 days so far (just knitting a few minutes here and there. Its bigger than it looks in the photo as it curls (due to the slipped stitches on the edge). I have no date I want it finished by but the edging I imagine will take some time! It looks very complicated and the pattern has a lot of errors (on the edging portion) or so I have read on the internet. Id be happy to help if you have any questions I can answer. Im making the large version of the blanket but I'm using a small yarn.
