It's done. Just in time too - the Australian winter is really beginning to bite.
The little madam was not a very cooperative model today! There were quite a few pictures of her crying or pulling grumpy faces at me, or crawling away. I managed to get a few cheeky shots though.
The pattern is by Sandra from Cherry Heart, she has a great tutorial on her blog as well. There is also a clamshell-along group on Ravelry, if you wanted to have a crack at it yourself.
Looks gorgeous. Just in time for those harsh winter nights!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lydia! Alice loves it but so do I, I use it every night as a leg warmer on the couch ;)
Deletewhat is the pattern you used for the edging?
DeleteBeautiful Sedef! Wonderful timing too!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Margie :)
DeleteBeautiful blanket in lovely colours! And little madam is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's so so beautiful! Your colours are gorgeous and so calming and subtle, really very sophisticated. Some really cute pics of your little cutie too :)

Thanks so much for the pattern and very thorough tutorial Sandra! They were great and if a beginner like me can do it everyone can (takes a few rows of getting the hang of it but it was plain sailing from there on). :) xx
DeleteSedef your blanket is beautiful - I have had a go but found the pattern quite tricky but you have inspired me to try again x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! It took me a few rows to get used to it but once you figure it out it's really quite straightforward. Perhaps try making a swatch to test out the pattern first? xx
DeleteThis is just beautiful. I think this has to go on my 'to do' list. Although it is a rather long list!! The colours you have chosen are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my 'to do' list :D
DeleteThis is gorgeous, just came across it on Ravelry!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask, what edging did you use? It's really pretty
Hi Linsey, I used the border pattern by Cherry Heart, who designed the clamshell pattern as well. You can find it in her project notes here (the bit under 'Border')

Oh my goodness I want to go Yarn shopping with you! I love your colour choices, this is just amazing, so beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with these colors! What brand of yarn and what colors are they? We are doing pretty much the same scheme in our daughter's nursery and can't seen to find what I'm looking for! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Christy - I am in Australia and the yarn was all from Spotlight, Moda Vera Marvel. I am afraid I didn't write down colour codes but they don't have a massive range so if you are in Australia hopefully you can get them from your local Spotlight :)

ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this gorgeousness. :).
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old post so you may not remember, but do you know how much yarn you used for this piece? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this post. Your little model is just adorable. The blanket is fabulous -- love the design and colors used. That dolly is so cute. Is it a hand made? and if so where can I get the pattern??
ReplyDeleteHow much wool did you use to finish the blanket? The colours are great by the way :)
ReplyDeleteThird, it is anti-acarid, antibacterial and antiallergic. SERICIN ingredients not only can make a person’s skin exquisite and smooth, but also prevent the propagation of mites and germs, more beneficial to allergic constitution. Silk Duvet Covers
