The Bride’s Guid To Choosing The Right Hairstyle

October 30, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

hairWhen you started planning your wedding, did you think about the fact that you need to have a plan in place for you hairstyle?  Ok, maybe you did, but you probably didn’t think about the fact that your style needs to be not only beautiful, but practical and functional as well.  Your wedding day is going to be a jam-packed day of ceremony, congratulations from friends and family and the big after party.  You’ll be bending, hugging, dancing and laughing more than you would imagine so make sure your style can hold up to all you have planned.  Read this post from Maria’s Bridal Couture to get some great tips on choosing the right hairstyle for your big day.

Knit a Blanket with the Texture of a Ceiling

Knitwear designers can get inspiration from almost anything when it comes to re-creating a color scheme, an image or a texture in stitches. Sometimes the inspiration isn’t always obvious in the finished project, but sometimes it’s more literal. 

That’s the way it is with the Tin Ceiling Blanket from Purl Soho. Not just because the inspiration is in the name, but if you’ve ever seen one of these old ceilings you can see that the design of the blanket is quite similar to the pattern of the tin tiles. 

This is also a good example of the idea that you don’t have to use fancy stitch patterns or lots of color to make a big impact with your knits. This single-color blanket (designed by Gianna Mueller and inspired by a washcloth and towel set designed by Sandi Rosner) is made completely with knits and purls, other than slipped stitches at the beginning of rows to make neater edges. 

The pattern is written out row by row, but there’s also a chart, which means this project is a great opportunity to practice reading a chart where you can check your work against the written pattern if you need to. 

It comes in two sizes, a crib blanket and a throw. The yarn used in the sample is an organic cotton sold by the cone, which is a great way to get a large quantity of yarn and have fewer ends to weave in. In fact, you can knit either size of the blanket with just one cone of yarn, which isn’t inexpensive but makes you a great, sturdy, heirloom quality but still washable blanket you’ll use for years to come. (Of course you can use any sport weight yarn you like to make this blanket.)
