Thank you! Very handy! And thank you for taking on moderator too!
*ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t reddit pal!
I started one of these - and to try to mitigate the mad colours, I’ve been putting a white square every other square - But I LOVE your solution so much more! I can see some frogging in my future!
Aye , I think I might be too impetuous for grafting…. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted…!
They are hollow, so I can jam my needle into them and slip the stitches across. So much easier than using scraps of wool!
These… this is on the german version of Amazon…. Other places will have them too!
Yep - me too!
More pics of blanket
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.
Ah - that’s why I’m making big squares…. But the problem is, one day I have to join them!
Thanks! I’m using a long cable - and then transferring the completed, but not cast off, square onto “scoobies” (this is a GREAT tip I picked up from someone on instagram - scoobies are those long plastic tubes that were a bit of a fad a few years ago for kids crafting. They are cheap, and hollow, so you can transfer stitches on and off by jamming the tip of the needle into the scoobie, and carefully sliding them across the join)
Making up as I go - the slip stitches were inspired by a pic I saw somewhere of a scarf - the plan is to make about 16 squares (maybe 20 - but I might not make that!) then graft them together…. I’ve grafted two together - and honestly, it’s not my finest work - so I’m still thinking how to join!
You know, I’d be tempted to do almost exactly what Einhoernchen says, but choose a contrasting color, and make it look deliberate.
Learning oil portraits using the Zorn pallet
You know, being restricted to black, white, yellow ochre and cadmium red SOUNDS restrictive, but, it’s quite liberating!
Super, super cool!! I made this for my partner a while back, and now I think he might get another!! (Can you see the Moomin, and the Hattie Fattners ??) 
. (And why, oh why is he sideways??)
Sock yarn blanket that just keeps giving!
Hello world! I am very bad at taking photos of my knitting, but I’m rarely seen without it! This is one of my many wips, and will one day grow up to be a monster blanket!!
