Knit Kit - Aspen Blanket
SKU: B72681
When I first learned to knit cables, a whole new world of possibilities opened up to me. I was completely captivated by the beautiful textures and intricate designs I could create. It wasn't long before this fascination turned into an obsession, and I knew I had to design a pattern that combined the classic elegance of cables with the delicate beauty of lace. I wanted to create a design that was both visually stunning and a joy to knit. The result is an afghan pattern that marries the best of both worlds, creating a fabric that is not only beautiful but also has a lovely, flowing drape.
This blanket holds a very special place in my heart, as it's the first afghan I ever designed. It was a true labor of love that ignited a passion for creating and an ongoing obsession with design. I hope you find as much joy in knitting this pattern as I did in creating it, and that your finished blanket brings you warmth and comfort for years to come.
Hello, my fiber friends. I am Makenzie, the yarn loving, cable obsessed, always knitting designer at Hanks And Needles. With one, two, or more patterns always in the works. Yarn is always in hand or close by along with my notebook for the new ideas that come as I work. My love for yarn (and knitting) began in 2000, but became a passion when I taught myself to cable. Now I am constantly looking for new techniques, stitches, fibers, inspiration, and other ways to expand my designs to new heights. I hope you enjoy creating your own Hanks And Needles patterns with Lion Brand Yarn as much as I love designing them. Happy Creating
