Well in blog surfing the other day I found a beautiful blanket made by Jared of http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/. It is a blanket made from a vintage doily pattern. The catch is that it is done on larger needles with much chunkier yarn. The result is that the 15 inch across doily is turned into a 4 ft across blanket. The pictures of it were so lovely that I just kept going back to see it again and again. I just love how the center flower looks. So finally I decided that I would definitely make it, but now right now. Yeah... I'm sure you all see where this is going don't ya! So I cast on for it on Saturday and it is so fun to knit! I just couldn't put it down. I would say at this point I am about three quarters of the way through it am loving it even more in person! The yarn I chose was from my stash and it is a hemp/wool blend in blood red. Very nice!
