So well, what do you do when it&#8217;s totally impossible to study and\/or you need a break? Knit! I&#8217;ve knitted on this pinwheel compulsively, and we have a finished object in less than a fortnight! That&#8217;s already a record for me, for such a big knit. So after the babbling, here I present you to the pinwheel blanket!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>The Pinwheel Blanket<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/knitting\/pinwheel06\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/albums\/knitting\/pinwheel06.sized.jpg\" alt=\"neatly folded\" width=\"75%\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitlist.com\/00gift\/round-baby-blanket.htm\">Pinwheel Blanket<\/a> from Knit List.<\/li>\n<li>Yarn: Phildar Sport Laine, 51% wool, 49% acrylic. 3 skeins in Aviateur and 2 skeins in Fjord.<\/li>\n<li>Gauge: about 15 stitches to 10 cm.<\/li>\n<li>Neddles: 5mm aluminium Pony DPN&#8217;s (set of five) &#038; 5mm Addi Bamboo Circular, 100 cm. long.<\/li>\n<li>Finished Measures:Approx. 80 cm. in diameter. (haven&#8217;t got an accurate measure).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I decided to alternate colours to make it a little different. I knitted until about it was too hard to get more stitches on the circular needle, and then casted off in picot edge (bind off 2 stitches, *cast on 2 stitches, bind off 4 stitches*, repeat from * to * until the end).<\/p>\n<p><em>[Edit:]<\/em> Someone asked me on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knittyboard.com\/index.php\">Knitty Board<\/a> how I managed to start this. So here comes my explanation. I casted on five stitches, and divided them on two DPN&#8217;s (two stitches on one, three on the other), joined and knitted the first round. Increased five stitches (for a total of ten) and knitted around and put the ten stitches on three DPN&#8217;s and worked with a fourth. I then worked in the row pattern stablished adding a fourth DPN when needed and then switching to the circular when I couldn&#8217;t work with the DPN&#8217;s any more. <em>[End of Edit]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And now more pics:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/knitting\/pinwheel04\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/albums\/knitting\/pinwheel04.sized.jpg\" alt=\"laid flat\" width=\"45%\" \/><\/a>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/knitting\/pinwheel05\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/albums\/knitting\/pinwheel05.sized.jpg\" alt=\"the back\" width=\"45%\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>PS: I still need to block the heck out of it to make it lay flat, because like we all know, stockinette curls like mad! <\/p>\n<p>Sade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I&#8217;ve been kind of MIA (Missing In Action) these last days, since I&#8217;ve been working over the exams and writing them and trying not to kill the lovely neighbours that decide that they need to have a nap with ugly music played way too loud.
