I think I will be sick now

I crocheted a blanket for my DSD several years ago. It took me quite a while to make it (small octagon flowers and pigs). I never wove the ends in. I know, it was a bad thing to do but anyway, I am in the mode of getting things ready for the fair so I thought I would enter that afghan. I went in and got it and there are pieces that are coming apart. She apparently took scissors to the ends that weren't woven in.

Whoa!!! I'm so sorry!!!! I guess you know how important weaving the ends in is.... I often wonder if I weave them in enough and what my things look like after they are washed!!! Now, I weave as I go and I have no ends to weave in at the end!!!

 

Sorry you can't enter you blanket in fair now.. But your daughter must love it anyway!!!!

I'm so sorry. It's tough to see all that hard work unravel. Hugs to you.

:silverlining there are still LOTS of places that haven't been unraveled and I think I can repair it if I could find the right color.

[MaryPat]

Yikes!

[RoseRed]

Yes, you can repair it. :yesI speak from experience.

 

The first MAM I made was for my mom. I crocheted over about an inch of the ends and thought it would be good enough.

 

Mom had it on the back of her chair and from laying on it for a few years all the unwoven ends came undone and unraveled. Forturnatly, when I give an afghan I usually give a small ball of all the yarns so if it ever needs repair I can fix it.

 

It took days but I redid every end that didn't come undone also. Mom was so happy that she could use her ghan again.

 

It won't be fair entry after the repairs but it'll still be an awesome ghan.

Could you maybe go around it and machine stich blanket binding of some type like nice satin. That would be pretty and hold it together.

[Real Deal]

Yeah, I can feel my stomach roll over.

[alibra]

OH NO!!! So sorry, so much work..gone!

[Ladycrochat]

Oh No! Sorry to hear about this! I know that weaving in loose ends is a drag....but look at the alternative:blush.......hope you can fix it!
