This is the progress so far on my blanket for Operation Orphan. It is simply row after row of crochet trebles (UK). I am aiming for a length of 60" and these 100 rows equal 39". So I have just over 50 rows left to crochet. Even if I crochet only 2 rows per day, I should have finished before the end of June. I'm following a stripe pattern that was generated by the Random Stripe Generator.
Very nice, Una. It's coming along so quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt's a handsome blanket!
ReplyDeleteHope this doesn't appear twice!How do you know what size to make it or doesn't it matter and how do you get them to the charity?Post?I have loads of wool and am looking for something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that they like the blankets to be roughly 40" x 60". I post these off to the charity. Postage is going to be high for this particular blanket and I know lots of knitters are rethinking how to get their work to charities. It might be that in future I will have to donate my items to local places that I can walk to. Are you a member of Loving Hands? They have lots of ideas about knitting for charities.
DeleteThat is a fun idea to use a random stripe generator to pick the widths of stripes. It will be a handsome blanket when it is done and I am sure that it will be well loved by someone.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Lots of hard work and love in that blanket.
