Ooooo Yay!
F i n a l l y F i n i s h e d!
This throw has been hanging from the hooks since February will you believe it - it is very unlike me since I prefer to finish my projects as quickly as I possibly can. The squares were in fact finished a few months ago but the idea of assembling the throw bored me to death. Earlier this week I decided to just jump in and finish it for once and all. I think it is a true representation of the initial idea and I like the simpler use of colours on a design that is normally hooked in a myriad of colour combinations. That said, I will also attempt a true Babette sometime in the future and might just go mad on the colours!
Yarn: Vinnis Nikkim
Hook Size: 3,75 mm
What are you working on? I need to focus on finishing the Amanda Perkins designed triangles now and will hopefully showcase another throw soon.
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDelete(Can you explain the difference between a throw and a blanket? Or is there no difference?)
Thank you Hilde! A blanket is large and normally covers the mattress whereas a throw is a smaller blanket and is used mostly by an individual to wrap themselves when taking a nap or watching TV. Afghans could be either a throw or a blanket but is made out of geometrical patterns (the term originates in Afghanistan where patterns were elaborate and sometimes with big holes in and between motifs. In America an afghan is draped over sofas or armchairs. Mostly though I think the terms became cultural and people living in different parts of the world use different terms, irrespective of items sizes. xxx
DeleteNice work, cheerful and warm colors.
