My grandma made everyone one of her children (6) and grandchildren (35) and then great-granchildren (12 when she passed) a blanket, but they were all in the same treble stitch square shape with a simple flared edging. I'm having a go at following patterns & am finding it easier than I initially feared it would be....I can knit a little too but cannot follow a pattern to save myself! I did come via Lucy over at Attic24 and I'm currently having a go at making the frilly round cushion she finished recently. Mine's definitely not as colourful as Lucy's (purple and cream only), but I am loving how it is coming along.<br />I love the look of your stripey blanket and am going to make my way back through your posts and leave some more comments. I think I need to learn a few more stitches and play a fair bit more before I venture onto something as gorgeous as your blanket pattern.<br />So pleased to see fellow hookey friends from Oz on blogger. I've been blogging for a couple of years already, but that is when I wear my other "crafty" hat - as a cardmaker. Definitely going to follow some of the links you've shared.<br />Thanks for the inspiration.
