ブランケット A lap robe

昨年から編み続けていたひざかけがやっと編み終わりました
ほとんどが半端毛糸だったものの最後の花のモチーフの糸捜しに時間がかかってしまいました
田舎なので仕方ないと言うべきか…

四角のモチーフはアフガン編みっぽい編み方なので結構厚め
今までかがりでしかつないだことがなかったので
図書館に行って本をたくさん借りてつなぎ方もあれこれ試行錯誤
実際、編んでるよりもあ〜だ、こ〜だと編んでは解きの方が時間がかかったかも
しかしながら、結構な大作に我ながら満足の一枚です

I just finished knitting a lap robe which I've knit it since last year.
Almost wool were I had but I took a lot of time to find purple wool which used for flower motifs.

Square motifs are knit like a Afghan way we call.
This knitting way is very thick and flat then I thought I need a special border between each motifs for join them.
I borrowed many knitting books for motif from library and tried many way to join each motifs.
I spent lots of time for thinking, knitting and doing unｔie, it was more than I knit each motifs.
Now I am proud of myself.

つなぎは鎖編み同士をつなぐつなぎ方
これで幅と立体感が出てアクセントに

Joint stitches are only chain stitch.
This chain stitches made border wider and sense of perspective.

どうしても角に穴ができてしまい隠すために花のモチーフを
これは更に立体的になってそれなりにいい感じに

Each corner had big holes because I made border wide.
Then I putted flower motifs on each corners.
Do you think it make more lovely and looks like a flower garden?

このまま、編み物に熱中したいところだけど
暖かくなってきたし、そろそろミシンかな〜〜〜

I am enjoying knitting so much now and still go on but there is getting warm outside ...so I should start machine sewing soon.
