\"Valentine's-blanket\"<\/p>\n

Do you remember this?<\/p>\n

In Wendy Aran wool.<\/p>\n

It started off being called a Valentine’s Blanket, because I was making it for my love for Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

Valentine’s Day came and went.<\/p>\n

So it became the Birthday Blanket.<\/p>\n

His birthday is a distant memory.<\/p>\n

So, jokingly, I called it his Funeral Blanket (yes, my sense of humour can, on occasion, be a little dark).<\/p>\n

Then on Christmas Day he went and had a bloody heart attack!<\/p>\n

So, I’m not finishing this one. It feels jinxed.<\/p>\n

SO.<\/p>\n

I started another, in one of my favourite yarns: Drops Andes. I figured, hey. On big fat circulars, back and forth, this will knit up quickly.<\/p>\n

And it did. But it was soooooooooooooooo boring.<\/p>\n

So I abandoned it and will use the wool for something else.<\/p>\n

Now, I am making this, in Drops Nepal, and Drops Big Delight, with a 5mm crochet hook, and I. Am. Loving. It.<\/p>\n

\"Jem1\"<\/p>\n

It’s fast, and it isn’t boring. A lot like my knitted cardigan<\/a>, in one plain and one colour-changing yarn, I just love the way the colour graduates through it.<\/p>\n

I’m already plotting the next \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
