Works in Progress and a Giveaway!

Hey guys! So I can finally do at least one work in progress post. I have another one coming soon :). This one is that dagon blanket for the boy that I have been working on for over 2 years now!!!! I started it when I first started learning how to knit and kept taking breaks in-between. It's completely, entirely, hand knit and hand sewn by me. And I made the pattern. If you don't know what the VMI spider is (which is what the pattern is supposed to be), you can check out www.vmi.edu and there'll be a picture of it there :).

These aren't very good pictures, because I took them with my cell phone camera, but, there it is.

Oh so close, yet, so very, very far...*sigh*. I still have about 5 more rows to go. And to save myself from weaving in all those ends, I'm just going to knit a back haha. I have almost one fourth of the back taken care of. Definitely won't take as long as the front! (hopefully)

Anyways, on to the fun stuff! A GIVEAWAY!!!!!! I just started a facebook fan page for my blog and etsy page. In celebration I want to do a give away, however, there's a catch! I won't do the give away until I have 250 fans. The first 250 fans will be entered in the give away and the first 50 fans will get their names put in the pot TWICE!.

With that said, here's the link for my fan page:

  1. Hey Ashley, I know how you could save time on the back...just sew on a piece of fabric so its sort of like a quilt. It would make a nice "cool side" for the blanket. :)
    Just a suggestion. The blanket looks great and knitting a back would be super cozy too!

  2. I thought about doing that! But, then I thought, I don't sew that well. And, I've come this far in hand knitting and hand sewing everything, so, I may as well go all the way with it! haha He's waited this long for the blanket, it's not gonna hurt him to wait a little longer ;). Although, I had 1/4 of the back knitted and it got stuck on some velcro in the bag I was carrying it in and it tore about 4 rows of stitches off, but, only on half the project so I had no way of fixing it...I cried...Then I thought of Susie and how she would've just unraveled it and did it again, so, that's what I did. Now I have a bunch of yarn balls haha.
