GAUGE:
4 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side rows, purl on wrong side rows) with 4 strands of yarn held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the fabric when working with Speed Stix, gauge may vary throughout the knitting and is not crucial to this project.
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.



THROW
With 1 strand of A, 1 strand of B, and 2 strands of C held together, cast on 34 stitches.
Row 1 (right side): Knit.
Row 2: Purl.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 54 in. (137 cm) from beginning. Bind off.

FINISHING
Weave in ends.

Fringe
Cut 68 strands of each color yarn each about 20 in. [52 cm] long. For each Fringe, hold one strand of each color (4 strands total) together and fold in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold through edge of Afghan, forming a loop. Pull ends of Fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Make one Fringe in each stitch along first and last rows of Throw. Trim Fringe ends evenly.

looks warm and toasty, but not cheap unless you have good coupons. I started a crocheted blanket like that once. It called for eight skeins of multi colored $7 yarn. I made a scarf instead. It's hanging from the front door right now (from magnets), keeping the wind out.

Ooooooh now there's a great idea. I could use something like that for the front door. A quilt would probably work well too, too bad that those are on the beds.

I would write you more Jack and Huw fic cos u r special and make me feel good when I write for u which is special and appreciated, but I am too drunk. When the vodka has worn off I will write the next bit for u, but for now, I give u this suprise . . . Huw and jack are going to end up a threesome. Hehehe. And not necessarily a mmm, but there will be no f in there (ranel wants to know what is wrong with the f cos he thinks it means feline) more vodka!

Hmmmmm. You are cute when you are keine schmerzen (no pain).
Considering there is a lot of bottle involved in your present painlessness dare I postulate mmb.

*leads Ranel away to safety* No DVDs were viewed during this episode.

U are wrong in your postulations (that word is inherently ruuuude). I will tell u there is mmi and possible borderline incest. Ha! I need more vodka, and a nice dom to spank me for drinking so much. I would be worried this page is so blurry but I don't have my glasseses on. No brain no pain. Safer here than Facebook.
