New Project

Started a new project for a university friend of mine today.  She LARPs, and I made her a blanket in the colours of Milen as she kept on getting cold during the nights - probably because all she eats during the game is cake!  Apparently her kitties love it so much she decided to commission me to make another one.  Now, I have discovered that I cannot repeat the same project twice - I get so bored.  So, I've used the same stitch as it is nice and cushy on the paws, but I've mixed up the stripe pattern a little.

Zak has already approved of the initial set up!



Pattern for those who are interested:

Holding two strands together, Ch 101.

Row 1: DC in second CH from hook,  DC in each CH along.  100 SC.
Row 2: CH1. (DC in DC, TR in DC).  Repeat (***) until end.  50 DC, 50 TR.
Row 3:  CH1 (DC in TR, TR in DC)  Repeat (***) until end.  50 DC, 50 TR.
Repeat row 3 until piece is desired length.

I'm changing the colour every 5 repetitions, I have dark brown, a fawn, a tan and a cream.  The pattern goes: 
Brown/Brown x 5, 
Brown/Fawn x 5, 
Fawn/Fawn x 5, 
Fawn/Tan x 5, 
Tan/Tan x 5 
Tan/Cream x 5 
Cream/Cream x 5
etc etc.  You get the picture.

Will add to this post once I've done enough for it to be worth another picture!
