Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. I have been knitting on and off for 50 years and I recently learned to crochet. I love looking for wool bargains and making them into something useful. I mainly knit for charity. I occasionally knit for myself and family members if I find a really good pattern or if they ask nicely!!

The Ocean Blanket ripples along....



This is my "Keep Calm and Carry On Knitting" blanket project.  It is now 17" long and I have at least another 20" to go.  It is very therapeutic to knit, though a little hard on the hands as I am holding 2 strands of dk wool together.


It looks like I probably won't need all the blue wool I set aside, so I am already planning my next blanket.  That one will be on a slightly different theme.....possibly a heather garden.  But that is in the future.  For now, I am living in the present and enjoying the moment.
