I have run out of small children to knit that sort of thing for. It is excellent.

I’ve found someone knitworthy. (Or crochet worthy). I suggested to my BF that I could make a blanket for his sofa as I’m often a bit chilly, and I have many blankets on my own sofa! He was really touched that I’d even consider spending time making something for him. It will have to wait until I’ve finished my Scheepjes CAL but at least I know what’s next.

Meanwhile my oldest daughter (21) has learned to crochet and made face scrubbies for all her friends for Christmas. She wants to make a blanket for herself. Trip to the yarn shop is planned for Saturday!

That's lovely Meglet (both things!). We went out for dinner on Tuesday before Tier 3 hit London and OH took a blanket that I'd made for my daughter, to put on his knees in case it got a bit chilly sitting outside.

Blimey Drell that’s amazing and an awful lot of work.

I’m taking the Christmas break as an opportunity to work on my Scheepjes CAL. Now up to round 82 out of 104, and there are nearly 200 stitches per side. :-o Can’t sit down and do ‘just one round’, even ‘just one side’ takes a while!
