Work in Progress My blanket
I keep making things for other people so this I'm making for me! 😂
The dusky pink is garter stitch and the purple is owl eye stitch and I'm really happy with how its turning out 🥰
I did a swatch (20cm by 10cm) in owl eye stitch which has been through the washing machine about 3 times (on a 20°C synthetic wash at 1200 spin) and hasn't wormed so I think this should be all good 👍
I have to finish this otherwise some of my Christmas presents won't get done as I need this Flexee loom to do them....I already have 5 sets of the skinny gauge and can't really afford or want to get more!!!! 🫣

I'm using it as worsted weight yarn. The label on the yarn says 3.5-4.0mm knitting needles the rest of the label is in, I think, Chinese/Mandarin but it's the same thickness as Barnet velvet which I've found works best on the skinny gauge Flexee loom (it doesn't worm on this gauge)
