Well part 13 is all about the trebles, and there are lots of them! The shape gets changed quite a bit by this as each section has two large semi circles and a smaller one. Because of the trebles, they looked and felt a bit wobbly, certainly at first. Both of the blankets that are made with the stylecraft double knit wool however coped with this better than the Scheepjes whirl. This was down to the thickness of the thread and I wasn't sure how it would work out but I needn't have worried. The part is finished off by lots of paired stitches which join together stitches on the previous round. This gives such a lovely effect with the changes of wool colour, either white of black linking together the pink shades. It adds to the texture in the colour change version in which the grey section of the colour change wool is getting progressively lighter. I am interested in how this section will look against the darker band as the grey will go almost to white before I have to decide which Scheepjes whirl cake to do next.
The blankets have certainly grown in size and it is noticeable now how they will look when finished and placed on a bed. The double knit versions I tried on a single bed and they are starting to travel down the side by approx. 6 inches. On a double bed they are still working towards the edge but getting ever closer. It wont be long now. The colour change version looks great over the back of a sofa or an arm chair. What to do with it. Still, I am glad I don't have to decide just yet. Part 13 done.
Onto part 14 .........................................
