Blanket

Hey everyone it has definitely been a long time! So I have been wanting to make a blanket and I originally was making a different blanket and I am still working on it; it is just taking a very long time. I tend to gt bored just making one thing at a time I like to mix it up a bit. 

Without further ado, This is what I did....

What I did was went to the local hardware store and bought a dowel rod.

Then I went home and used some of my father's tools to make the giant knitting needles. I cut the dowel rod in half and with help I whittled one end to make a point. (There are better instructions than this on how to make giant knitting needles from dowel rods but I am just telling you basically what I did) 

After I got the materials gathered (8 balls of Hometown USA Lion Brand , the needles, scissors) 

I used two balls as one to make the yarn thicker. I casted on enough stitches for which I thought it would be wide enough and then I just did stocking stitch until I thought it was long enough and then bound off. 

This blanket really was not difficult to make and took little time due to the fact I made the giant knitting needles. Also the blanket is stretchy! To be completely honest I am using the blanket right now! it is just so soft and comfy. Great to wrap around in! 

 As always, Hope you enjoyed or at least got a little inspiration to make something of your own. :)
