I decided to pull out the knitting needles and start again on the blanket I am making for a hospital in Africa. The last one I did was three shades of blue which I loved, but I am excited to be doing different colours. I love the process of knitting and it is special knowing it will be going to such a good home. Check out what other people have been up to at Kootoyoo.
I proudly gave Little Mr his blanket today. Little Mr is the gorgeous son of some friends of mine- lucky parents. I have been working on his blanket since he was born so it was a very exciting moment for me, not sure he totally ‘got it’ but his parents loved it :-) It is a cute little blanket 1m x 80 cm so will fit his cot and as his dad suggested, it may be his blanket for day care when he finally gets there. He is one cute kid and the thought of my blanket accompanying him on his first days in school is oh so adorable.
Always exciting to see the final product all laid out, after it being in pieces for so long.
Nothing better than feeling the weight of a blanket finished.
All ready to go…
For the past few years I have been making blankets for charity, which has been so great but I haven’t moved past plain stitch.
So the time has come when I have decided to mix it up with an additional project- a scarf in rib-stitch for the approaching chilly weather.
Surprisingly easy and looks pretty cool. This is my project for this week (any maybe next week as well at this rate!). Happy creating…
