Hi everyone!
Obligatory acknowledgement here that I've been terrible at blogging consistently again, along with vague intention to do better in the future...
This year has just been bananas for everyone! Hot tip: International Student Exchange and Regional Human Resources Consulting are NOT relaxing industries to work in during a global pandemic, 0/10 do not recommend. The jobs themselves are fascinating and interesting, but after the constant tsunamis of feelings coming at me for months on end, the idea of doing anything constructive other than staring at the wall has been too much to contemplate.
However, I have made progress on my goal of getting written/designed patterns actually up there and published this year, and today is one of those red letter days!
In August, I finally published (to no announcement and fanfare) my Impossible Hexagon Sweater and Cardigan patterns, which I'll blog about another day (but here are the links to the patterns if you want to have a look:
But, to today's news!
After the success of our Bargello Wave Baby Blanket, we decided to try and figure out how to make a bigger version that didn't lean even harder to the right, and by goodness we cracked it! Today I can share with you not one, but TWO larger bargello blanket patterns! Both of these test beauties were made by my partner in crochet crime Anne, and I'm sure you'll agree she's done an outstanding job.
BARGELLO BLOCKS THROW
Pattern Link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bargello-blocks-throw
This design is worked corner to corner using a unique block method, along with the classic bargello style of maintaining the same block height whilst changing the width of each column of blocks. This is what creates the wave effect! Anne took her test blanket to the beach and my jaw literally dropped when the photos came in.
QUEEN BARGELLO WAVE BEDSPREAD
Pattern Link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/queen-bargello-wave-bedspread
The bedspread is a massive 210cm square (unblocked) to fit your queen size bed, and is made with larger blocks and two strands of yarn held together.
