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 Ripple Blanket is finished....
My knitted ripple blanket is finally finished and I'm really pleased with it. I called it my Ocean Blanket as I used up various shades of blue, aqua and white. It measures 38" x 32" and is gloriously warm which was a boon as I have been knitting it through the coldest May I ever remember. I am especially pleased because it was the last item I needed to fill up a box of knitted goodies which I will send to Greenfields Africa .
The free pattern for the knitted ripple blanket is here . You have to scroll a long way down the page to find the free patterns but they are well worth the journey.
I love knitting blankets and am already planning my next one. But that will be another blog post.....
