GoT Blanket

[wozz90]

I'm sure there will be a few of you who have watched and maybe read thew books. But I absolutely adore GoT I have read up until half way through A Feast for Crows so far. This blanket is on my 'make' list but will be a little while before I'm competent enough to give it a go.

I love the books and the show. I'm waiting for Mr. Martin to get the next one out. I need to know what happens next!

Also, that blanket is brilliant. It looks like it will definitely take some time to finish. The biggest Ice and Fire/GoT thing I've made so far is my 'Winter is Coming' scarf. I hope you'll post progress pics when you do decide to make the blanket. I'd love to see it coming together.

Are there any pictures of your scarf on here? I will definitely post progres pictures on here when I get round to it, at the minute I'm working on a blanket for my mum and a Zelda Triforce pillow.

You're going to make me one next right?! That looks awesome. Sometimes I wish my mom had taught me more than just cross stitching...although I don't thinks she knows how to knit either. It's a shame as I really need a second (and sometimes a third) blanket for the cold nights here. My old house is so drafty! lol

Can't wait to see progress pics either!

I'm now really wishing I'd taken up Gatchastitch's offer of teaching me Tunisian crochet. "I don't need more hobbies," I said. This may have just changed my mind! Looking forward to some WIP pics, good luck!

I hadn't posted the scarf on these forums. I'll actually just share the pictures with you here. Seems easiest. hehe

Here's a picture of it curved so it could fit better.


And here's what it looks like when it is laid out flat.


It's crocheted and I put the chart I had made on Ravelry if anyone wants to make one.

That scarf looks great what stitch did you use for it? I've only made a hat for my Gf and I'm part way through a blanket for my mum so I struggle to tell from looking at things.

[TigerLily]

It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures, especially because of the black. I used all single crochet (double crochet if you're a UK-er) with a 4.25mm hook. It's 8ply (or double knitting) weight yarn. And that makes it about 5 inches wide and around 55.5 inches long, plus another couple inches for the fringe.

Oh awesome that should be within my capabilities =D thank you very much. I have picked up some wool at lunch to start the blanket off. As they come in seperate patterns I think I might do them seperately and sew them together after.

This is a really cool idea! I've done the Lannister and Stark bookmarks using these patterns and I really like them. I wish I knew another craft other than cross stitch lol I feel so one dimensional next to all you guys!
