I'm addicted.......

 I'm addicted to blanket making and it will have to stop soon!The above is the one I finished last week for my youngest grandaughter Ruby aged 5.(She lost her first tooth on Friday and was so upset she tried to put it back in!)She can't have it yet until another one is made for her sister Emily who is 7.
This is Emily's.Sorry the photo is on it's side.Blankets are such great projects for the winter as they keep you warm as you are doing them.I have used Stylecraft Special Dk and at £1.30 for 100gr it isn't too expensive.
I am already planning my next one.On a snowy Saturday last weekend I sorted out my craft cupboard(don't you feel good when you have done it) and all my spare bits of yarn are all together in one box and I am just going to make a random, multicoloured blanket.If it looks awful the cat can have it!!

    It won't look awful, you have a natural gift for colour mixing and your blankets are lovely. Don't stop making them.

    Love the ripple look, bet the cat is waiting patiently hoping you don't like the outcome of the random blanket. lol

    Your blankets are lovely. I would love to know where you are managing to buy Stylecraft at £1.30 a ball.

    Oh these blankets are looking great - I can imagine on a cold night, like we are having, it will be lovely and warm working on one of these :) And poor Ruby with her tooth. I well remember those days when my girls were wee. :)

    Beautiful blankets - and such great colours.
    My son wanted to hang onto his teeth too - he left presents for the tooth fairy in exchange for keeping the tooth!
