Progress on the lap blanket done with Tunisian crochet.

Now the concept hopefully is a bit more clear.

A few different colors are involved (plan is to pick them so any strip does not touch a part of the same color as the one in progress. That means that after this green I can only do white or light gray for the next strip that will go along the edge at the top of the current picture, thus that strip will span the current green, the dark blue at the top and then the dark gray to the left

All stripes are the same stitch pattern, but I vary the width of them between 12 and 22 stitches (so far the first piece is widest).

It is a play on a 10-stitch blanket where I attach the new strips as I go (the technique for that is usually referred as Tunisian crochet entrelac)

Hemming a woven rug. It takes a bit of time for sure.

Working on a (lap)blanket, made with Tunisian crochet.

The blanket will be made in a log cabin style, with new parts added to the sides going around the center part (the gray area was the first block that was done.

It's a simple stitch pattern alternating the simple stitch with a twisted knit stitch that get staggered on the next row.

The blanket will be nicely thick due to how Tunisian crochet works and hopefully it will also be nice and soft after a bit steam treatment (it is an acrylic yarn I am looking to reduce stash of).

Tunisian crochet is great for stash busting, it does eat a fair bit more yarn then both knitting and regular crochet does (for most stitch patterns at least).
