Finally finished
the little blanket with the 20 cent church sale balls of wool in it
warm and wonky
to fit on a lap, to play under
to smile at when I look at all the learning curves I put in there
the odds and ends stretched out to try and use them all up
my first crochet blanket
(funny little thing it is.)
Looks great!
I have just started my third knitted blanket for the kids but I have to confess that while I like the knitting process the sewing it together is a little tedious 🙂
Well done you xx

My first blanket was ugly- and so I started making scarves instead. Really lovely, Brydie!

I think you’ve done a great job Brydie! If the wonkiness bothers you blocking would remove it, have you heard of it? You can see an example of (knitting) being blocked here. http://pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/claras-knitting-josephine-lace-shawl.html

It is gorgeous Brydie. I love my assortment of crocheted rugs collected from op shops but nothing beats making one yourself. Clever girl!

Warm, wonky, bright and beautiful, all of the things that make hand crafted items priceless :). Love it. You should see my hand knitted gauntlets if you think your blanket is wonky! I haven’t knitted in years and got to the end of my first gauntlet feeling suitably proud that I had remembered how to both knit AND perl without having to resort to the internet and suddenly realised that I HAD forgotten how to caste off ;). Oh well, you can’t win them all and my wool came from a friend who had spun it years ago and I spent a fair bit of time knotting a bit of it back together after the moths had finished with it… handmade is the best 🙂

Doesn’t look wonky to me at all Brydie. Its beautiful. Love the combination of the huge squares, rectangular bits and smaller squares. Much more interesting than uniform granny squares. Well done. Very impressed!
