At Last – The Flower Blanket is Done

Published by on September 7, 2010 | 11 Responses

The Flower Blanket is finally finished 😀 I am so relieved. First I must say, “Thanks you” for all the sympathy, empathy and support on my Despair Filled Wailing post – I think I’ve gotten over it now 😉 Before I show you the inevitable “Finished Blankie” pictures, I guess you’d like to know about […]

Despair Filled Wailing

Published by on September 2, 2010 | 9 Responses

Or perhaps this post should be called, “Stupid, Stupid, Stupid” So here’s how I was reduced to “Despair filled wailing”… I’m onto the last flower of the blanket….

The squares have taken over as my train knitting – on a knitpicks circular needle (ideal on a crowded train and for leaving fellow commuter’s eyes in their sockets!)

I’m guessing some of you have been awaiting progress on the Flower Blanket?? Shall I taunt you?? I’m not that cruel 😀 You know I said I’d do this on the train? Somehow I’ve found another project to do on the train so this has been my evening project instead – the plain and stripy […]
