When I initially saw this on Ready Made I was super excited to get started, but little did I know, that this was not going to be as easy at it seemed. It’s actually super easy, if you have the skill, I however have very limited knitting skills and I can classify myself as absolute beginner. So after almost a year of back and forth and dragging this task out I am happy to announce that it is finally done! My knit patchwork blanket is complete and ready to keep me warm this coming winter.

Oh, that’s beautiful!!! I must try one for myself.
Thanks, you should!
It’s nice! I’m sure you’ve enjoyed yourself during the making process. And admiring the result
Thank you, it was fun, I’m just glad that its finally done!
Great color choices! I love a project that takes a long time, it’s fun going back to it and seeing your progress.
Fabulous. But I hafta ask. Where did you find that comforter/duvet!!! But really. Great work.
Thank you, duvet cover is from Ikea.
Very pretty! I can’t knit anymore, but it looks so nice, I think I will try it in a different medium.
For non-knitters, head on over to a thrift store. Pick up some 80% of greater wool sweaters in your favourite colours. Throw them in a hot wash with a pair of jeans and then into a hot dryer. You want to purposely felt and shrink the sweaters. Once the sweaters have shrunk, cut them into squares. Piece them together, and voila!
Thanks for that suggestion! I might just have to try that out!
Love that idea!
Should say 80% OR greater
