Finally

I have finally finished the blanket that I started for one of my nephews. I am really pleased how it worked out. So am sending that off by the end of this month.

I have started another blanket. A friend of mine saw a pattern she liked so for a surprise I am trying to get it completed, however I have a funny feeling I won't get it finished as I have an assignment to get finished and handed in just after her birthday. So I'll try and juggle both.

Another Year

Its been a bad start already to this year with one of my nephews and one of my brothers in hospital and my husband being really poorly, hopefully he won't go into hospital either.

Anyway, I have started an Aghan blanket as a present for a friend's birthday. I know she likes the pattern as she commented on it when I was thinking of buying the book its in.
