To the Loom: Ocean Inspired Blanket

Ocean Inspired Blanket

Recently I received the Martha Stewart Loom Kit to review. At the time I was not sure what I wanted to create but then inspiration struck – I would loom a blanket! I decided that it would be ocean and wave inspired since I live close to the coast.

I headed over to my local Walmart and looked at all the available yarn colors and as I was standing there I saw a pretty blue/turquoise variegated yarn. From there I chose colors within that same family as well as 1 contrasting color.

Here is my supply list: Martha Stewart Loom Kit, Red Heart Super Saver Accent in Pool, Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Delft Blue, Turqua, Macaw, Royal and Grey Heather.

My plan is to use 2 colors of yard, using the square-shaped frame, with each side containing 24 pegs (total of 96 pegs around), and looming the two together.

I can already see it will be important to make sure my yarn does not get twisted and remains as flat as possible. Also, I know from my practice runs that as it gets closer to the end of the second yarn, the tighter the weave becomes.

So with those things in mind my goal is to make this blanket large enough that both Jason and I can use it while movie watching or use it as a blanket on chilly nights.

I plan to be random in the yarn choices and the combinations staying within the color’s I choose. I am thinking this will form more of a patchwork style patterns which I think will turn out similar to the colors in the ocean waves.

I will be working on this over the next month (give or take a couple of weeks) and will be updating my progress here.

As you can see I already have someone holding me accountable and making sure I am doing this right.
