Kittenheels Kath Apr 2020 10:39am, 24 Apr 2020 3,245 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath Same here: people see what I've made and label it creative, but it's not, it's just productive, because I like to be making stuff while watching television in the evening. I follow patterns, but couldn't write one to save my life!

Gus Apr 2020 10:48am, 24 Apr 2020 1,654 posts	0 Gus I've got a 10-stitch blanket that I can happily knit away on without really thinking about it. I might try the ripple one for my friend who has been dropping big hints
EvilPixie Apr 2020 10:56am, 24 Apr 2020 17,249 posts	0 EvilPixie I need simple and no thought so I can watch TV and knit without thinking! I know I shouldn't complain as some (eg proper key people not just someone who works with biscuits) but WFH is so tiring no idea why as still doing the same full time hours no more
Velociraptor Apr 2020 11:06am, 24 Apr 2020 46,187 posts	0 Velociraptor I think I might save the yellow for something else and do a sequence of X rows white, 2X rows purple, X rows white, 2X rows blue, continuing until you're happy with the shape of the blanket.
EvilPixie Apr 2020 11:12am, 24 Apr 2020 17,251 posts	0 EvilPixie good plan v-rap! I was pondering how to get around the fact I had less yellow! See no idea!

Kittenheels Kath Apr 2020 11:47am, 24 Apr 2020 3,246 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath Just read your blog Vrap, and I'll see your jumper-half-a-sleeve-from-completion and raise you a jumper-a-sleeve-and-a-half-from-completion, and I've just started a cardigan using the same yarn, thus ensuring it never gets finished. I feel an unravelling coming on.
