So im currently working on a new project. Its a Christmas Guinea pig c2c wich ive never done befor. I think its going well but im in a bit of a conundrum.
The Guinea pig is black and brown so i have no idia what colour to do the eyes. Heres some photos
Here is a chart showing the different color eyes that guinea pigs can have.
Have fun with it. I really enjoy doing c2c blankets. I did one that is a shelf full of books and one is a sunflower blanket that fits a king sized bed.
I tried tan but he looked a bit creepy so then i tried the navey blue, it looked a bit to dark so i did the last cluster in white and i think im happy with it !!!
My only problem is that my yarns keep tangling together so if any one has any tips to prevent that, that would be brilliant
I can’t find my pictures right now (of course) but what I do is wind a bunch of yarn onto bobbins (or small balls) and work from those. I add to it when I run out. I do not use the skein at all once I start adding different colors.
This makes it much easier to keep it under control.
Oooh thats a good idea it must leave a lot to weave in though. I googled arod abit and what ive started doing is i put all my cakes of yarn i a box and when i need one i take it out the box then once
I need a diffrent colour i put it back in the box. When you turn the work you turn the box to and it stops it from getting as tangled! The back is a bit messy but your not going to see that bit lol. Thank you for the tip though
Something that I recently discovered is that tucking in ends is a whole lot quicker when you use a latch hook instead of a needle or crochet hook. It was less than 1/2 the time it would take me if I used those.
