blanket coverage

Two new blankets to alleviate the evening chill, both knit using my favorite Cabled Throw pattern from Debbie Bliss' Simple Living:

I used Rowan Magpie Aran (purchased in a long-ago Liberty sale), so they feel quite 'sturdy' compared to the one I knit last year in Cashmerino Aran. But what they lack in drape, they certainly make up for in warmth!

  5. Oooh yes, it's definitely quilt and blanket season now. Yours look wonderful. In fact, I think I am inspired to go and sort out our log pile in preparation for the autumn now. Bring it on!
