The Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long – Finishing

Deutsch

Today I have finished my Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Afghan by Martin Storey.

I have done some testing before I took the final pictures. A such big project like an afghan could not be washed by hand it must be ready to be washed in a washing machine. And it has to be possible to put it into a dryer, otherwise it would take ages to be dry.

So I washed my afghan in my washing machine, using a gentle wool program and then I threw it into my dryer until it was  dry!

And it keep shape and have not lost its beauty!

English

Heute habe ich meine Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Afghan by Martin Storey fertiggestellt.

Und ich habe ihn einem Test unterworfen, bevor ich die endgültigen Bilder machte. Ein so großes Projekt kann nicht mit der Hand gewaschen werden, es muss für die Waschmaschine geeignet sein. Und es muss möglich sein es im Trockner zu trocken, ansonsten dauert es ewig, bis es trocken ist.

Also habe ich meinen Afghan in meiner Waschmaschine im Wollprogramm gewaschen und ihn anschließen in den Trockner geworfen, bis er vollständig trocken war.

Und er behielt seine Form und seine Schönheit!

The Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long – Week 10

Yesterday Rowan Yarns has published the tenth clue for the Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long with Martin Storey.  This weeks pattern is the last one of this Mystery KAL. The Making Up.

Week 10 - Making Up

Week 10 – Making Up

Look for the spanish translation Viovioletta has done here.  And here is a YouTube video with Martin giving you more information about this week’s design.

As you already know, I have not knitted one stitch for the Cable Trim and this weeks clue the making up will also have to wait until I’m back from Holmfirth, UK, where I will meet some awesome people. I’m on the plane right now.

So until next week in this KAL-theatre!

Are you ready for the Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long?

There is no hurry!

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

Week 5

Week 6

Week 7

Week 8

Week 9

 

Happy knitting!


Remember to check out these washing and blocking instructions from Rowan:

Hi All, as your pile of Pure Wool Worsted squares are building up, here are some tips to ensure they’re ready for making up: 
We recommend an initial wash of each square, for blocking into shape. This will also remove excess dye. 
Remove excess water by rolling in a towel, and pin into shape (20cm x 20cm). 
Dry the squares flat and in the shade. When the squares dry, they should all be an even shape, ready for making up. 
This process is called blocking, and will mean the squares are a consistent shape for making up, and won’t run or bleed into the other shades when machine washing in the future. 
Any further issues, please contact mail@knitrowan.com.
