Knitting needles have the same allure as guitars (I can almost completely not play the guitar at all). Knitting and guitars are take along things.. unlike pianos and sewing machines. Apart from the fact that I am not a great knitter I do periodically lurk with admiration on a few knitting blogs, and this Summer I did actually spend many an evening in a tent knitting... squares with the intention of finding the time to sew them all together.
To compensate for my lack of speedy knitting ability and prowess I have cheated. I managed to get my hands on a small amount of absolutely gorgeous cotton flannel fabric that I think sadly is now no longer available to buy from any suppliers that I know of. I have already made one blanket and will be making a limited quantity more over the next couple of weeks. This is very much a wintery design and makes me think of crackling fires, snowy log cabins and hot chocolate. I am giving you sneak peak of my 'knitted' effect blanket...
... but this will not be added to the shop until it is officially cold enough to shiver and buy the boots that I have my eye on but are rather too expensive to justify buying when it is still sunny and warm(ish) outside.
