Lariath- Live a Little.

I have completed my second blanket for Sixty Milion Trebles. (Find out more information about this charity Here ). This is a 36x36 inch blanket made by crocheting corner to corner (c2c). After struggling with the first blanket being so heavy to handle and my yarn holding finger getting tired I used my  DIY Crochet Accessories  for assistance. I have never tried a corner to corner blanket like this, I love it. It worked up a lot faster then my Charity Granny Square blanket . I love the colours and I quite like how random it is aswell. As I have never made a corner to corner blanket before I didn't know what pattern to do. It would annoy me if the pattern didn't finish perfectly when I got to 36 inches. I probably could have worked it out, if I could be bothered, but nah. So instead I used a  Random Number Generator  to choose the number of rows of each colour for me. I think it turned out really nice, and no annoyance of a pattern not being perfect. Anyway eno...

The past few weeks I've been concentrating on making crochet blankets for the charity  sixty million trebles  and I am really not used to making projects this big. I normally make Amigurumi or other smaller type projects. So making larger projects is something new to me and it was putting a strain on my 'Yarn holding finger' which I have never really had much experience of before. Luckily I had already made a finger saver (find the pattern for my finger saver  Here ). The finger saver has been a literal finger saver and after messing around with it for a while I realised I could change the tension with it! I am not the brightest spark so if this is nothing new to those who crochet then accept my apologies. So weaving the Yarn through the finger saver once like this: Gives very low tension which was not enough tension for my liking so I thought what would happen if I weave the Yarn through it more, surely the tension would increase, so I gave it a whirl: Alas...
