Pattern Notes

This throw is worked flat in one piece from end to end.

This was fun to knit because it was different on such large needles with thick yarn.

That said I probably wouldn't make another blanket with such bulky yarn.

I'm going to make another Fisherman's Throw but use regular 4 weight yarn and all of the same color.  The pattern is so pretty but with all the different colors you can't really see the pattern.

The next one I'll be making will be all green for my friend Dorothy.

Premier Bold Yarn

 The yarn I ordered came in the mail today.

It's Premier bold and the color is called Summertime.

It is super bulky size 6

I'm knitting a bulky throw called a Fisherman's throw.

Did a couple of rows to get it started.

Using size 13 circular knitting needles.

Will post the pattern when I finish the throw.

It is for a friend.

Double Moss Stitch Blanket

 I knitted another baby blanket.

This one I will save for winter because it was knitted with bulky yarn

and will be nice and warm.
