The Nuptial Throw is Finished! And it lookes like Knitti-me will win GOLD! Here's the throw in all her jewel-toned glory.
Final dimensions are 6' X 3'.
While not technically challenging, this throw was time intensive and the challenge was to just get it done!
I almost lost steam just as the finish line was coming into view - yes folks, the fringing almost defeated me, but I persevered and pushed on for the prize.
WOOOOOO HOOOOO! I am standing as the anthem is played while you are on the podium. High five! Now that's Olympic spirit! Not only did you persevere to the end, it is beeeyoooteeeful! That is one lucky couple to get that gift.

Congrats! It looks great! That much knitting in two weeks definitely deserves a gold medal. Or chocolate. :)

Knitti-Me: This gorgeous piece reminded me of my Paternal Grandmother. I actually own a blanket that she made from first shearing the wool from sheep in Bulgaria. She dyed the wool Red, then wove together four sections. Atop the entire spread is given a shredded fiber effect and it is warm! I once hung it in an apartment. She willed it to me. It is the kind of weaving no one does anymore. Sorry I don't know enough to be specific.
