Knitwit

Following on from the baby blanket, I have finally found inspiration to start the cobweb lace baby shawl that I bought 16 years ago. I've never been confident enough to start it and I know its going to take a long time to finish it. I plan to do a bit while completing other projects. So far I have managed to complete about one side of the edging - only another 70 scallop patterns to go to finish the edging and then its on to the main body. It may take me another 16 years to finish it. I've never knitted anything quite so intricate and fiddly in my entire life.

Baby Blanket



I have just completed a baby blanket. This was a kit that I purchased from www.knittingtogo.com and is called the maternity blanket. I've knitted a few baby blankets in the past but the pattern and colours on this one made me want to try it. I have normally knitted in white or neutral colours so this one was quite different. The pattern was really easy - its all garter stitch with some K2Togs. The only difficult part is picking up the stitches to start each new square.
