my main(e) squeeze
Wednesday, September 05, 2018
Okay. So this is the blanket that grew from Pittsburgh to Boulder. I worked on it the entire road trip so that it could join Libby for her next adventures. Her junior year of college and beyond.
The finished project is a dream. A nice heavy blanket. Durable and pretty much indestructible. Libby can throw it in the washing machine. The instructions said to lay flat to dry, but I told her to throw it in the dryer. I just can't imagine laying this flat to dry as it is heavy when dry. I can't imagine how heavy it is when wet!The yarn is super soft consisting of 80% acrylic and 20% alpaca. Unfortunately, the yarn sheds like CRAZY! We seriously had fiber flying around the car the entire trip. It became pretty comical. The one day I decided to wear black leggings was a big mistake. Needless to say, I was covered in fiber.
The blanket also becomes very heavy. So, while having it on your bed is a great thing, knitting on it can turn into a workout!
