bedroom throw

[rebeccav]

actually, i guess i'm just seeking advice...
hubby and i are differing on this:
i am wanting to make a throw for my bed. should it be open and lacy of sorts, or solid??
here is my room... (the thread i will be using is that cone in the picture - tobacco (color) chenille.

Okay, you're making me think wayyyy too early in the morning. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" /> (I'm out West )

My first thought was that a solid throw would look better or a simple light and open design, nothing too frilly. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/scratchhead.gif" />

Now, I'm going to get back to my coffee and Sesame Street.

Hmm.... I usually prefer more solid things, but for your room, I think something that is more open would go nicer. Do you have spevific patterns in mind?

P.S. I like your bedspread

I think something more open, too.

It looks like the yarn color you have chosen goes very well with your room decor! I think your bedspread is very nice and would want to show through anything you put over it, so I would go for an open work stitch for a throw.

this is what i have come up with:
a fuller body with big lacy edge?

maybe the center square out of (for those of you who have the 63 squares book)
#31, 13, 50, 48, 52 ???

[MommaChelle]

If lacy is your preference, go for it! I like stitch #31, it seems it would work up easily and quite quickly with that stitch.

I think lacy and open would be pretty. As for the square numbers...I liked #'s 31 and 52...or were they 32 and 51? Whatever!

I like that edging. Really pretty.

Is this to lay over the whole bed or just a little something for when you are chilly?

If it's more decorative, my vote would be for something open so the spread shows through.

And I've gotta ask...do you make the bed up like that (tea tray included) every day or was that just for pictures <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cutewink.gif" />

Y'all saw my desk, I am NOT showing you a picture of my bedroom lol!
