number 2 is probably one of my least favourite rolls to be honest. it was one of the first ones i made i think, if not the first one... the green paper was really gorgeous: very soft and slightly textured and if felt like a mixture of tissue paper and cloth. it didn't take the glue well though. at that point i wasn't very experienced with various papers and glues yet - now i'd probably know better and wouldn't use wet glue with paper like this... prettifying it with a gold paint pen didn't work either and the whole thing is kind of ugly-ish. i'm very pleased with my numbers though and at some point, when i feel inspired, i will replace the few rolls that i don't like so much with new ones. (or i let the kids craft and use what they come up with - if it's worth looking at. mean, i know...)
this is yesterday's yarn knitted up. i made the square twice because i wasn't happy with the number of stitches and the resulting size the first time. i use 55 stitches on 3mm needles and there is enough yarn to make a second one later, when the blankie is bigger...
here's door number 2.
(sorry, i had to use the flash - the beautiful colours of the yarn didn't show at all without it. very bad weather and light this morning...)
love and hugs! see you tomorrow...
