Do you remember that I started knitting a gift for Jenny in January? I finished it yesterday, wrapped it carefully in tissue paper and posted it off. I see so many wonderful knitted projects on my friends' blogs that I feel a bit self conscious about displaying my own work so this is the only photo I have. It is a large blanket based on a Debbie Bliss pattern and it felt so soft and warm while I knitted away thinking of Jenny and the fun we had when we worked together. Every stitch in that blanket was knitted with love and I hope that it keeps the newest little cartographer cosy. Sweet dreams!
it's beautiful. I have never ever knitted a whole blanket. not even for a doll......
ReplyDeleteMaybe not but I have seen several exquisite quilts with your signature on them.
DeleteIt looks incredibly neat and beautiful. I'm sure your friend will be thrilled. My three still have their baby blankets all knitted by the same talented knitting friend.
ReplyDeleteI have just seen a photo of babe + blanket. Too cute for words.
DeleteI once knitted a cloak for my teddy bear. Had fun unravelling it about a year later ...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I don't know why you would feel at all self-conscious. Jenny and her baby are very lucky to have such a wonderful friend who is also a wonderful knitter :) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can now return to my other blanket which I am knitting from your pattern. It is half way over my knees now - very cosy! (I am going to have a tiny diversion into a Kate Davies pattern first)
DeleteThat is destined to become an heirloom, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope that it will be loved until it falls to bits rather than tucked into a drawer and never used.
DeleteWhat a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I have no doubt it will be treasured.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really did enjoy knitting every stitch - I have known Jenny for 10 years and she is a very special friend.
