Re: Show your (craft)work
I've just dug out my knitting needles again after a few years of not using them. I have so many, I had no idea! I want to make a simple blanket- I know, might as well set fire to £50 notes- and while I was looking for inspiration online, I saw this. I'd never make anything that looked this professional, but how cosy is that
? (I'm feeling autumnal already.)

Re: Show your (craft)work
This is my latest effort. It needs to be blocked when I get home (washed and stretched into shape) so it won’t have a wonky hem, pleats and puff sleeves when it’s done ![grin :))](./images/smilies/xiggrin.gif)

Re: Show your (craft)work
Ella, this is a really dreadful photo of something similar I made a year or two ago. I got some chunky weight cashmere from Colourmart on special offer, and it worked out very reasonably (about £75) and it is so warm and cozy. I've had a look and This is the nearest they have on offer just now, which is not the same at all; but it's worth checking their offers pages or getting on the mailing list, as they bring on new specials all the time.

Re: Show your (craft)work
Beatrix, that’s so lovely.
Ella, that looks eminently doable. It’s all stocking stitch so the only difficulties are the increases/decreases, which are pretty simple if you can make a stitch or knit/purl two together.

It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Wrist warmers that are a bit twee but Elvis has claimed them.
Also made up a dress (that still needs pressing, which I’ll do before wrapping) so that’s the second set of siblings done.

Re: Show your (craft)work
Do we think this blanket is ok for a new baby regardless of whether its a boy or girl? Or has it turned out a bit too pink?

It's pink but lovely. I would give it to a gal, honestly.

I would give it regardless of the child’s sex.
It’s a lovely piece of work and colours aren’t innately gendered.
