Posted by I’ve a teal blanket update today. I can do one square easily in just over an hour. I’m averaging at 4 a week.
Here are the first six all blocked.
I’ve another 4 ready to block but six seems a nice number to fit onto my recently (should have bought them ages ago) purchased foam playmats.
The pattern is from the byHaafner blog. The popcorn blanket.
This is hers.
If I imagine hard enough, I can see the beginnings of mine.
I had planned on 30 squares but I may do more. It’ll be a snuggle rug for our living room and I’ve all this lot to get through.
Love, Lucie xx

Lovley squares. The colour of the yarn looks different to the squares. Down to the light I suppose. Like the playmats!

What a lovely colour, which surprises me as I usually go for brights. The stitch pattern stands out beautifully I suppose, so the grey-blue (?) works well.

I love that design – it’s going to look beautiful. I’d never heard of the foam playmats for blocking before. I guess it would work for knitting too. Are they interlocking so you can make the surface bigger and smaller?

Yes, as huge as you like. I bought 2 packs from Amazon.

Hi Lucy, I saw the play mats on Amazon – a lot cheaper than I paid for ‘proper’ ones – but some had really bad write-ups. Can you tell me who you bought yours from. Gorgeous pattern, your blanket’s looking great already 🙂

Hello Lucy
Just came across your blog googling ByHaafner (whom I already knew) & I’m glad you had a Bloglovin’ button😍
I’ve these very same playmats I bought with the same purpose in mind, but… how do you know you’re blocking the squares to the same size?
TIA,
Cristina

Hi Cristina. Once I’d blocked the first one I cut out a template in a piece of card the same size and shape as the area that WASN’T covered by the square. An L shape. Does that make sense? Lucie x
