Weaving progress . . .

I am making progress on the first strip of my dad's blanket. At first, I had intended for this to be kind of a sampler/crazy quilt type blanket. Basically, lots of little sections of different kinds of weaves that were connected together, ergo crazy quilt technique. However, after working for a while on this strip, I think it might want to be more coordinated.





Here is a rough sketch of the new idea I have. The middle strip would be the strip I am weaving now. Then I would create corresponding sections that were in the pattern of the strip. Such as, A section in the strip, I would take that design and create a large section to be placed on the side, in the A section. Not sure if this will work how I am thinking or if I need to improvise some. We shall see.







Don't forget to comment on a post from this week, before midnight Saturday to be entered into a drawing to win the 2 Debbie Bliss Stella balls of yarn!
