This lap blanket has just gone off to SIBOL where the industrious Sue will add it to her collection of blankets from other volunteers. When the pile threatens to take over her house, she delivers the blankets to people living in care homes in and around Birmingham in the UK. Apparently, they are always very well received.
I started this blanket in the depths of a very cold winter and finished it just as the weather started to improve. From the first stitch, I intended it to look like a sun bursting through a blue sky and I think I achieved that. I didn't want it to look like a baby's blanket. I'm not sure I achieved that!
A lot of the wool was given to me by a colleague of my husband. When I sent her this photo, she was very pleased that it went to a good cause and she has more for me!! I'd better start my next project.....
So cheerful! I agree Una - it looks like the sun in a blue sky - we all need a little brightness in our lives :) Well done x
