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 blanket edging changes colour...





The diagonal baby blanket is still a work in progress.  I carried out my plan to knit the edging in 4 different colours.  Here is the first corner where I changed from green to yellow.  I'm liking the effect.  Next comes lilac, followed by pink.

I'm forging ahead on this blanket at the moment because a builder will descend on us soon to rip out our kitchen and install a new one....hopefully in time for Christmas! Living dangerously!

    1. The builder is highly recommended and Hubby has seen some of his work. He works long days and doesn't need constant cups of tea. There is a very good chance it will be complete by Christmas. Famous last words...

    1. Our daughter is up in Scotland this Christmas, so it was always going to be a quiet one here. We are just going to chill out and play it by ear.
