A new Bedcover by 2018 | Inspiration {Knitting}

There are many reasons to love crafting, and in my case trying to improve my skills - one of them is to able to recreate some items that are available but at great expense, or that do not exist anymore, or that I have only seen a picture of. 

This is the case of this blanket that I pinned a year ago (apparently). I knew it would be possible to find a pattern (well at least I was hoping to), and then I found it! 




I am not saying this is the easiest/quickest project I would be taking on - I am thinking probably 5 or 6 years (at my speed), but after a year on my Pinterest board I still love it - that mix of vintage and grey, so I am probably still going to be in love with it by the time I finish it, right? 



So I found the (free) pattern on Ravelry, and it confirmed what I knew all along - I could make my own. I am looking at this other (free) pattern to adapt the border and add a diamond border

The yarn is from Swans Island in Graphite - organic and using environmental-friendly dyes (of course).   

So day that I knit a block over 2 months, I may be able to have my new bed cover by Christmas 2018... Something to look forward to..

  6. Where would we be without pinspiration? I get so many ideas from the site, from outfits to recipes to travel to... anything, really! I do hope you'll share how this project comes together as it does look wonderful (but also quite time-consuming!)
