KNIT A BLOCK A WEEK
My first block is finished.
Block Number 17 - REVERSED HEART
I have knitted similar blocks before in this style, where using a mixture of knit and purl you achieve an image that "pops" out.
This block was quick to do and also keeps its shape well, have often found that some squares curl etc.
My only criticism is that I find reading charts quite lengthy so did write the pattern out to follow rather than follow the chart as I knitted.
I'm keeping my blocks on the needle as I'm knitting a blanket in strips to save on sewing up. Picking blocks with the same stitch count should in theory make this work.
You will see this block again over the coming weeks as I have used it more than once.
Cant wait to start week 2 block 2
which one will I choose next ?
