Three blocks for my string quilt WIP that I made at 221BCon, while hanging out in Mrs. Hudson’s room. Featuring “Sherlock fabric” (not really but close) and bacon 🥓

Bonus: got some cotton scraps from the craft area takedown, and I will be incorporating these into the quilt as well

Knitted Quilt Duvet Cover

I’ve been posting about this project for a while now through the compilation of various squares and their patterns. It’s kind of astonishing to believe, but I am finally done!

The completed duvet is made from 120 unique squares, 60 on each side. Here’s an image of the second side (or a portion of it).

Everything is joined together except for one side, which has a row of buttons matching the colours of the squares. (The idea came from my grandmother, who figured it was the least annoying way of making sure i could separate it from the blanket inside to wash it).

This project has been ongoing for almost 10 years. Some of these squares date back nearly a decade. Many have stories attached to them. I have made some during my year in Germany. Others were made from yarn I bought the first time I went to Iceland, when we stumbled on a gorgeous yarn store that still haunts my dreams. I know the ones I did in class. I remember the ones I struggled with, and those that brought me to new techniques.

This project has brought me from a decent knitter to a damn good one, and has even taught me crochet. When I started this, I didn’t even know how to purl!

I’ve made mistakes as well, from recently forgetting a square in a classroom at the university to not planning the number of squares I was making (I have some leftovers and I’m not sure what to do with them right now...).

I never thought I’d see the end and yet here I am. I am so goddamn proud of this project, and it is probably the one that is dearest to me.
