The Killing Blanket

I've spent almost every evening over the last two weeks watching The Killing.  I loved, loved. loved it - even with its holes and dead ends - and can't wait for the next series.

I fell madly in love with the jumpers and am shopping around for appropriate yarns to rustle one up for myself.  I think I've worked out the pattern but won't know for sure until I start knitting.

Of course, I couldn't just sit still and watch the programme.  No.  I need to have something to do otherwise I can't relax and I feel like I'm wasting precious time.  However, I needed to watch the screen non-stop in order to read the subtitles so I needed something I could do with my eyes closed.  That's how this blanket was born...



Easy, peasy crochet!  Two big granny rectangles joined together and then a few rows around the edge to make things nice.

So, now I know who killed Nana Birk Larsen, have worked out The Pattern and I have a completed blanket!

The blanket is for sale in my Folksy shop.  Everything on Folksy has been spruced up and changed around today and I'm just getting used to the new style and layout.

Hope you all have a fab weekend,

  2. Love the blanket. It's a great idea.
    Loved The Killing too but made the big mistake of watching the American and Danish series at the same time. Very confusing!

  4. I think it is awesome that you spent your tv watching time making this! It is cool that is associated with the TV show. I have never been interested in shows that you have to watch week-to-week, but if I was doing something productive like this, maybe I could get into it! Great blanket!
