yarn along

I've been using up my left overs and yarn from the stash for my new Rasta-triangle-blanket
I'm crocheting triangles from thinner yarn and knitting triangles from thicker yarn - it's great way to use all those different left-overs I have...
millions of triangles are waiting to be crocheted or knitted, but I have to study for the exams so it's taking forever to finish even one or two = hence, the lack of interesting books I could share with you...

once I finish all the triangles, I'll assemble them with light grey yarn and it will look something like this:

the dots mark triangles already done and the thick black line is outline of the smaller version of the blanket - I might stop at that, depends on how much yarn I'll have left :)

  1. What a fantastic blanket. It seems to be a great way to use up bobs and bits as well as stash yarn.
