On The Porch Blanket by Fifty Four Ten Studios
Hello friends,
I have finally finished my On The Porch Blanket by Fifty Four Ten Studios, which I started back in 2021. It was a long haul over the last couple of years to knit it, as each row took about 15 minutes to knit. I had at times left it in my knitting bag untouched for months, as it was a pretty boring knit, even though it was good for watching TV. I finally got around to finishing it over the summer while I was watching the cricket on TV.
The blanket was knitted with a dark gray double knit possum/merino yarn cone I bought from a WoolYarns outlet sale when I still lived in Wellington, and I used size 4 mm needles for knitting it. The final dimensions for the blanket were 1.15 m wide by 1.25 m tall.
I love using possum/merino yarn for blankets, as it's very soft and squishy, which is great for cuddling up with in winter. My plan is to keep the blanket in my craft room/office, and to use the blanket to keep me toasty on cold, frosty days.
I'm so pleased to finally have this knitting project done, it gives me time to also get around to finishing knitting a sock project for autumn and winter.
Have a wonderful day
Julie-Ann
