WIP teaser photo, and some notes

[fred_mouse]

This place has been a little quiet lately, so I'm going to try and remember to post occasionally. Maybe each week, if it turns out I've remembered to take progress photos. The photos below are in progress of the edging that I'm adding to a baby blanket. The blanket is a standard giant granny square, using up 8-ply yarn from my stash -- turns out I had rather a lot of reds and pinks. Edging idea came from here. However, I loathe making slip stitches, so I've adapted it -- I started each of the chain rows with a standing single; then four chains, and then a single into the space. It looks like I'll only be doing the two chain rows (although that looks pretty enough) because there was a lot less yarn in the ball than I thought there was.

It's really pretty! The colours are lovely. I like your adaptation.

I'm working on this baby hoodie for knit-one-give-one, a charity for knitting/crochet - they asked for jackets for babies.



Maybe we should have a weekly wip post? I've usually got something on the boil

That is so very cute! Where did you find the pattern?

And yes, a weekly(-ish) WiP post would be fabulous.

It's a paid pattern, but it's very good: Bear Hooded Cardigan. (I didn't go with the ears.)
