Midnight Brites Blanket help!

[Charis]

Wow! what a great project!

Quick question, what size is the bed in that picture? I'm making a blanket of similar dimensions and want to make sure I don't make it too big!

[owlvamp]

The bed is queen size. The afghan is king size

[howieann]

Beautiful!

[yarn_monkey]

It's absolutely beautiful!!!!   I think I'm going to need one of these... eventually... Lol 

[randib82]

So pretty!! I didn't realize it was going to be so big! That's awesome. 

[owlvamp]

I delivered it yesterday and it was actually good because she is sick. So it was nice to help her feel better a little. She absolutely love it. Thank you all for helping with the blocks.

 

We need to do it again. Who's up for it?

[pineknott]

that is really stunning

you did a wonderful job

if you do another,I'll help with the squares

[yarnscrapper]

Gorgeous!!!  I'm totally in to help with sqauares if anyone does one again.

[katyallen815]

your soooo sweet yarnscrapper!!!! it is lovely, sandra has done a terrific job!!

[#1Crochetfan]

Beautiful job! I'm wondering how you attached the squares together. Did you whipstitch them or sew them together as you went along the last row of each square?

[owlvamp]

Yes , I whipstitched them together through the back loops only.

[owlvamp]

Yes I am doing 2 more just like this one. So should I start a different thread or Just do it here? The difference on these two if you dont mind use an I hook 3 rounds of the color and then one round of black. That will save me so much time. I'm excited you are willing to help again...

[greyhoundgrandma]

What size square are looking for with the I hook?

[owlvamp]

Okay here is the break down

 

Purple --Amethyst -88 blocks

Pink -- Pretty in Pink - 92 blocks

Orange -- Pumpkin - 88 blocks

Yellow -- Bright Yellow - 82 blocks

Green -- Paddy Green - 80 blocks

Blue -- Blue - 80 blocks

 

You will use a I hook . 3 rounds of color = 4" and then just put one round of black.

[owlvamp]

I believe this is what everyone did before to get the right square size. Some might of used a different size hook to get the right size. Whatever works for you.

[pineknott]

I have to check my stash to see what colors I have with the wrappers still on,so it will be accurate.

will get back to you real soon

[owlvamp]

That will be wonderful. I'll see how many want to help and then see what I have as well. What I don't have I'll go find it or order on line.

[greyhoundgrandma]

I have blue--looks like most of a skein, at least over half. I had the green and don't remember using it up, but I haven't found it yet. Two pinks and a yellow, but not the right ones.

[katyallen815]

wow, whom are these two going to, lol, that seems lke so much work, but glad you are having those of us that help, put the black row on for you!! That will save you some time, I hope to be able to do some as well, but will have to get some of those colors, lol.....Nice job...... and fun for everyone to participate in!! sewing together is the hard part!!

[owlvamp]

One is going to a lady who just lost her husband last week and the other to a lady who is having a very rough couple weeks and they have all been sick and I want to do something to cheer them up. I know it's a lot of work but figured if I had the black added this time it would be a little less work. Putting them together is a chore at times but when it comes together it is worth it all.

[yarnscrapper]

I'll check my colors tonight. I think I have amethyst, paddy green and blue...

[lynnf2012]

Gorgeous work Ladies!

[yarnscrapper]

Shoot, I only have half of a skein of blue in my stash.

I will make as many as the yarn allows me to!!!

As soon as I get them done I will let you know the number etc...

 

 I'm excited to get started

[owlvamp]

I'm so excited ! Thank you for being willing to help.

[pineknott]

looked over my stash and all I have with a label is black,at some point that will be helpful,but not a this moment

I'll see what the local Walmart has,and go from there,I'm leaning towards picking the yellow and green for a start

if I remember right,gives about 18-20 squares per skein
