Chunky Cable Blanket

[zhanie]

I actually made this afghan for a Christmas gift this past year. I picked Terra Cotta Mist as my colour, and I was really pleased with how it turned out. I love knitting an afghan in one piece. Hope you like the finished product as much as I did.

How long did it take to make? I am having second thoughts because I have a shoulder injury which has worsened from the KAL and CAL! I'm taking a few days off right now, but I really want to finish the KAL border You should hear the conversations I have with my husband: Me : just 14 rows and then I'll stop and rest my arm. Him: no, once you start you just keep going! You can't handle only 14 rows!

lol too funny! I think I finished it in a week or two. This was at an average of knitting about a ball a night. It was crunch time by the time I got to working on this project, so I didn't have a big window of time to knit it. Happy knitting and I hope you shoulder doesn't give you too much trouble.

wow! that is good to know! I guess it was fast because it's chunky. hmm, I'll see how I feel in May and if I am better I may start it. Thank you for your input

I am going to order my yarn tomorrow. I think I can get it done by July!

If others join in, I'll move the discussion to the KAL/CAL area. Just let me know!

I'm going to start the Chunky Cable Blanket today. I have bought 10 balls of Bernat Softee Chunky yarn in soft taupe. I need thirteen but ten was all they had. I also bought a size 6mm 80 cm circular knitting needle. Here we go! my second ever knitted blanket finishing the KAL has given me confidence that I will get this done.

thank you Shandeh. It's so fast and easy to make, already done the rib bottom. This is definately a good choice

I am so glad I decided to make this Bernat chunky cable blanket. I am using Bernat softee chunky in soft taupe. After the KAL this blanket is a breeze! It knits up fast and I think it will be a very cozy warm blanket when it's done. My favourite part is the big gaps between cables, it makes the design look large and easy on the eyes! ( If that makes any sense at all! ) I love it! :knit
