Thanks for all the love on my recent post - but I realise I was very unclear about my plans with my blanket - so hopefully this will clarify (and also gave me an excuse to lay out the blanket pieces completed so far in glorious sunshine!)

I’m making the blanket from large squares (about 50cm across) and then I will graft them together (I’m keeping all the stitches live on “scoobies” which are perfect stitch holders!)

The two squares furthest from the camera are grafted - and if you look closely, you’ll see that the join is far from perfect. I’m using “Kitchener” stitch (but since I heard how that stitch got its name, I tend to just say grafting!) if anyone has any tips on keeping the tension even through a very long graft, I’d appreciate it.
