So excited was I to get knitting with my lovely Flying Flock yarn, I was very unadventurous and plumpedĀ for a modified version of Jared Flood’s Shale Baby Blanket. I really struggled with this pattern the first time: it was only my second ever knitted project and it nearly drove me to despair. With slightly more experience, this time round had me wondering what all the fuss had been about. Fewer repeats across and a longer length turned the blanket shape into a cosy winter wrap.
Another ball probably would have resulted in a slightly more generous sweep, but it’s not too bad. I absolutely loved knitting this- the wool, the pattern, the happiness of knitting something for someone who would love it too (hopefully!) Next up: another baby quilt…
