Eyes Blanket
Sunday, July 10, 2005
I have a bunch of red & black donated yarn that I wanted to make into a blanket. I went poking around for a suitable pattern and here’s what I found. I thought this would look great! So, I started to make a motif and what I got was that big hexagon you see to the right.Yuck! I tried to like it, but I hate it. It’s just big & ugly. The pattern says to use lots of colors, but I really don’t like this at all. I can’t give away something like that. It just disturbs me.
I wanted to keep the hexagon idea & use red & black. I came up with the two smaller hexagons.Better, huh? It’ll be interesting to look at with the different centers randomly strewn around the blanket. I’ve decided to call them “EYES”. Plus, this is a great way to use up those small balls of yarn just hanging around.

I have a bunch of ‘eyes’ done for the blanket already. They work up really fast. I stitched a few together so you could get a sneak peak at the blanket.

I have made 35 eyes for the Eyes Blanket. That’s just over 1/3rd of the eyes I want to make. I’m going to start with about 100 eyes and see how large the blanket will be. I suspect I will be making more than 100 eyes. I may try to locate some hexagon ‘grid’ paper to start mapping out the blanket.

Three years later, I pick up this project again. About a month after the last update, I went through a divorce, so I needed time (ok a lot of time) to regroup.
Anyway... I have 55 eyes done now. Once I hit 100 eyes, I'll see how big the blanket is going to be and decide where I'll go from there - lap blanket or full-size blanket.
