Changing Tides – Week 13

Welcome to Week 13! 🙂 We are gradually nearing the end of our blankets…

Here’s another beautiful round-up of blankets being shared on Instagram and in the Facebook Group…

And this week are the final rounds of stitches that we have used each time to follow the rounds of ‘Pebble Lace’ throughout our blanket. The colours I’ve used for these rounds are inspired by the low tides along our local stretch of coastline revealing the base of the white chalk cliffs and the green seaweed that clings to them…

Do you see Salty camouflaged in the photo above! 🙂

When the tide is in these patches of seaweed are submerged under the water and no doubt float upwards and move with the currents…

For those of you who have purchased the PDF pattern on Ravelry it has now been updated to include Week 13 in both UK and US terms…
