The
next blanket, #187, is another dark one, this one without dark red,
so greens and blues on top of the standard very dark shades, black,
grey and brown. I started on the black unlabelled Rowan wool DK yarn
that I rejected for the broken rib blanket, every fourth row, but it
blends in so well that you don't notice it.
I
unrevelled a Marion Foale cardigan. You still see her knits in
charity shops quite frequently, sometimes with a very high price,
sometimes as for this one, reasonably priced. It is plain stocking
stitch with moss stitch trims, knit in a thin 4 ply wool. The wool
was extremely pleasant after the wash. The kinks came out, and it is
soft.
