EvilPixie Mar 2017 8:09pm, 6 Mar 2017 12,306 posts	0 EvilPixie Wow that's fab! I've done lots of knitting of my tunic as workers making too much noise to mark (honest!) but I won't be knitting much over the next few days as I have a job interview in Thursday!

Berry Mar 2017 9:01pm, 6 Mar 2017 81 posts	0 Berry Wow that's lovely Mad4purple Good luck EvilPixie I'm after a little bit of advice. I'm thinking of trying to knit a fair isle patchwork blanket, but what would I do about the back of it?
Meglet Mar 2017 9:35pm, 6 Mar 2017 17,853 posts	0 Meglet Good luck Pix! Same school new role or somewhere different?
Meglet Mar 2017 9:37pm, 6 Mar 2017 17,854 posts	0 Meglet Berry, you can back blankets. I've just done mine by sewing on a fleecy blanket and tacking it at the corner of each square. If you want really posh you use wadding but I didn't feel It was necessary. Hides the ends nicely and is super warm (Mystery Blanket on my Ravelry)
Jobe Mar 2017 10:30pm, 6 Mar 2017 1,328 posts	0 Jobe Looks wonderful Mad4purple. Good luck with the interview EvilPixie, let us know how you get on. Berry, I was going to give the same advice as Meglet about lining with fabric, an old blanket or whatever you fancy. Fleece sounds lush!
Berry Mar 2017 7:11am, 7 Mar 2017 82 posts	0 Berry Thanks Meglet and Jobe I knew where I could get the answer from. The fleece backed blanket sounds fabulous. Definitely on the to do list now Little projects that are different to socks
