July Show and Tell Part 4

Rose produced a baby wrap made with chunky threads in plain weave, finished with a wide crochet edge.

And a larger throw in different colours, woven in a texture weave suited to the slub yarn.
This wrap has a silvery thread incorporated in the yarn used in both warp and weft in a complex twill pattern. It is finished with a silver-grey satin ribbon along the edges and a silver rat-tail cord to enhance the ends.  This is a UFO that has finally become a FO.

That wraps up the July news but there are more pics to come so keep watching.

July Show and Tell Part 3

Chris shows one of her lovely generously large throws. In spite of her intention for it to be a 'stash-buster' Chris confirms there is just as much stash as ever. Stash-busting just never seems to work!
Here is a close-up of the clever colour blending and the goose-eye type twill construction.
Again, Chris goes for generous size and bold colours for this baby blanket. The crochet edge makes a good finish.
A close-up showing the huck blocks within plain weave squares with a light-coloured outline. The crossing of the colours gives a multi-hued effect.
