This is one of my knitted tablecloths, its the first one I ever knitted and took a year, many many years ago, the stitches which you start with 8 and end up with 2,000, Its very big and the best way to take a photo was to drape it over the settee, The stitches around the edge with crocheted off but one of then little chains got caught with the bra fastening in the washing machine, Now while in lock down I found the pattern and mended the chain. As it had never been on my blog I thought you all might like to see it.
Its a coats pattern no 1179 and was made with coats thread no 20 and took 13 balls of cotton. I still have some of the thread left which was a blessing as I don't know if they still make this colourway,
I have a white one but my grand daughter when she was younger made a hole in it, while we are still in lock down I am thinking its time to get it out and unpick the cloth to where the hole is and re-knit it. All I can is watch this space, it will be a long job.
