I had a head–>desk moment when I realized that I should have asked the mother-to-be what she wanted with regard to stitch lines or no stitch lines. She agrees with the majority of your comments: no color block delineation, if you please. And so it is. The blanket looks much better in real life, but hopefully you get the idea:
This is a shot of the unblocked crochet version of the Moderne Baby Blanket in progress. I tried to correct the colors, though you still don’t quite get the lovely, muted flavor of this Mission Falls 1824 Cotton palette.
What you see above is the nearly complete center piece of the blanket or approximately 18 x 20 inches of single crochet. The finished blanket should measure about 30 x 38 when all is said and done. This should not pose a problem because I’ve barely put a dent in my stash of this cotton. Goody for me since I want a throw for myself at some point!
Ok, I was wrong – w/o the borders the blankie is gorgeous!
Oops, I guess you’re right. Probably should check with the Mom. The blanket is coming along great. I love the colors.
love the color and the way it came out. Mom & child will certainly enjoy it.
Blanket is gorgeous!!!
Mission Falls colors are so cool – your blanket looks great!
(((hugs)))
Oh my goodness! It is beautiful! And how fast do you crochet? Are your hands a blur?
What progress! love the colors
fantastic colours and fantastic speed at producing such great stuff!
I am totally in love with that color combination!
Oh that’s a thing of gorgeousness. My friend is expecting and I haven’t yet decided on what to do for her. This is a great idea!
Wow, you certainly churned that out! It’s lovely!
That’s an excellent color combination!
I don’t look for a second, and now you’ve got a blanket! It’s lovely, and I like that it’s corchet. I would have liked the delineation between the color blocks as well. Do you really think crochet is faster than knitting?
Love the color combination! I swear, 1824 cotton comes in the most beautiful and subtle palette.
