Gearing up for Wood

The Love Blanket team are getting rather excited about being in festival-land again when we do two days of drop-in, drop-out but hopefully no drop-stitches at Wood Festival.  In April we had a little warm up at Silvia's house:


 and more recently had the opportunity to fully lay out the blanket (a task that's getting harder to do as it gets bigger!) and get it laying flat, by judicial removal of certain squares and reinsertion of other shapes:

 I even had to crochet a couple of triangularish pieces to fit in certain gaps.  I like us being able to accommodate strange shapes in the blanket (within reason), as it reminds me of medieval field systems before enclosure.  Whatever the size, Love Blanket pieces are certainly self-sustaining!
