Fan Stitch Blanket

I finally can’t stand the space has been taken by this unfinished project, so I took the courage to finish it off. I don’t have the patience nor the time to do any fan stitch with the left over yarn so I simply knitted the gartner edge and bind it off. I tried Chinese Waitress Bind Off with a Crochet Hook - YouTube but it flares so much so I ended of just using regular bind off method.

Knitting a blanket is time-consuming already and the fan stitch was even worse and took forever - I think it used fisherman rib or half-fisherman rib to form the fan. It basically kills my desire of knitting a blanket ever again. If I’d like to achieve the texture and thickness I want for blanket, next time I’ll definitely go with crochet instead.

Heart and Chain Sweater

Used up one ball of 回归线 溯原, I’m on 52 rows when joining a new ball of yarn.

Finished the back panel. I’m picking up the stitches for left front and it took me a while to achieve the perfect result to make the pattern as smooth as possible.
