Starting another Pop Top Ice Drop and my first knitted blanket done!!!!

Our daughter loved that last Pop Top Ice Drop and 

wanted one in red, white and green for Christmas. 

All I had was size 20, so I have made the start, but 

considering the thread is larger I thought there would 

 be less rings, but instead there is one more.  I am 

using Diane's stitch count this time and it should 

have only 6 rings, but I guess I can't read or some-

thing.  ;)
Either way, it's looking good.  I actually already 

have 4 outer points done.

Also, she wanted another one done in Lizbeth Blue 

Ice and it's already in slow process in size 40.  ;)

For those who might have wondered about my

knitted blanket.....Ummmm...you can tell I know

nothing of knitting and that as a beginner I go BIG!!!!!

When Sarah started this many years ago we searched

and most afghans were 150 stitches across, so since

I wanted a large blanket not a silly throw or afghan.

We decided 300 stitches would double the width and

make a blanket. Well, I guess the math doesn't work

out with knitting cuz' the finished blanket is 5ft. 7in.

and almost 16 feet wide. Now, I wish it was "taller"

and less wide, but....we now know.

At least I will be warm!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the pictures of it folded in half and extra on

our queen sized bed. I sleep on the right side and you

can see it has a pile of blankets on it, but I think this may solve

the pile.

It's a challenge to fold!!!!

Pop Top Ice Drop done. This is from the same pattern as

the last.

Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight. I don't know

how with the larger size thread I ended up with one more

ring than the last one tatted in size 40, and still both

having double or more than the pattern which has only 6.

I can't wait for our daughter to see it since it's hers by request.

And 2nd picture is side by side with the first one.

3rd picture to show another request in progress.

I hope you are have a wonderful Sunday and 

getting tatting in!! :)
