Time for another round of show and tell! I love to take photos of finished projects when folks bring them into the shop to share with us, and to share them here on our blog. I always seem to have a backlog of photos, thanks to the many productive knitters, crocheters, and weavers who frequent our shop. Here’s a batch of show and tell featuring projects made for the home – mostly blankets!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Glen knit this “Ombre Waves Knit Blanket”<\/a>\u00a0as a gift for his daughter and son-in-law, using\u00a0Malabrigo Rios, everyone’s favorite hand-dyed, superwash, worsted weight merino.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Petra wove the overshot table runner below using a cotton yarn in the warp and Brigg’s & Little Sport in the weft. The pattern is intricate and visually mesmerizing, even more so in the bold colors Petra chose – well done, Petra!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Peggy knit Jared Flood’s\u00a0“Talon Throw”<\/a> as a gift for her niece, a generous gift indeed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Peggy used Berroco Ultra Alpaca, a soft and sturdy blend of wool and alpaca, and a staple of our worsted weight section here at the shop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Berroco Ultra Wool<\/a> is a staple of our worsted weight section, too, and another great yarn for blanket-making. Elsbeth used Ultra Wool for this striking Purl Soho\u00a0“Mosaic Blanket.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Amy knit this colorful blanket for her newest grandchild using Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted<\/a>, a squishy superwash merino. The pattern is Svetlana Gordon’s “Hexagon Kaleidoscope Patchwork Knitting,”<\/a> adapted to include butterfly patches among the flowers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to Glen, Petra, Peggy, Elsbeth, and Amy for sharing their work, and to everyone who starts their projects with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop! We can’t wait to see what you make next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
