Yes it's that time again; the first Sunday of the month means joining in with Janine over at The Rainbow Hare's blog to write a yarn related post. Janine's post is a tribute to Easter and features a lovely visual story of two knitted bunnies and a beautiful knitted daffodil. Here
I managed to get a fair bit of knitting done during March. I finished the rainbow colours baby blanket that I had just started in the last Wool on Sundays post. It was the same pattern as the other 2 baby blankets that I'd made earlier in 2018. The mum may have been born in the 1980s but she is so much a 60s girl, so a 'rainbow blanket' was called for.
When we took the parcel over to my neighbour's place, we each enjoyed a cuddle with baby Willow...
The new mum loved the rainbow colours...
( the shelf behind has lots of yarns as H uses yarn to make Dreamcatchers which she sells at the Markets)
And what goes with a rainbow blankie? Why, a unicorn of course! Lol
Also this month I have been knitting yet another baby blankie using a pattern I purchased from Tin Can Knits. It is only half way through but deserves its own blog post. Let's just say that a lot of 'frogging' or reverse knitting has gone on in the last few weeks...maybe even 'some hair torn out' type situations too 😉😉. So just a little peep at the back...once again I've used Patons Cottonblend. Sharmayne from the Country Fragrance blog told me of some other brands of cotton that she recommends. And one day I will buy some Bendigo cotton; it was the 200gram balls that put me off a bit originally; especially as I wanted to use lots of colours.
The back of the latest project...
The pattern is The Bounce Blanket by the Canadian company, Tin Can Knits.

lovely blankets.........
ReplyDeleteThank you Chooky! The cotton yarn is lovely to work with too.
DeleteMore lovely work, Maria. I have some Bendigo mills cotton but haven't used much of it as yet apart from a few dishcloths but it is so soft that I feel it is a bit of a waste using it for dishcloths. Now if I was clever like you I could make something else with it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love the new pattern and the soft colours you chose to complete it with.
ReplyDeleteI hate frogging, so quite often I just tear the whole project back. If it happens too often I give up and make something else.
God bless.
