Oops.

I forgot it was Sunday so picked up the blanket to knit. I'll go back to knitting for sailors next weekend, and I'll make it up by knitting for them on Saturday as well. 

The blanket's growing nicely. I've one more ball to go. It should definitely be finished at the end of the England game on Tuesday. The football is speeding up the output. 

It's never so straightforward. I noticed this. Sorry about the quality but the flash made things clear.


With the yarn being boucle with all the loops and curls on the yarn, I think that I may have accidentally picked up a stitch. I tried unpicking the rows, but the yarn did not want to play nice so I decided that if my brother asked, I'd tell him that it was a design feature. 

Otherwise, it's been a good day. I'm hoping that tomorrow I do plenty to blog about.

Hugs and good health to all.

    It is a lovely blanket and I love the colors. The extra stitch is definitely a design feature. :D

      Thank you. That design feature is my story and I'm sticking to it.

    The combination of boucle yarn and garter stitch makes fixing stitches nigh on impossible, I've discovered.

      I've discovered it as well, and it's a pain, but it looks so good!

    Boucle is a so-and-so to knit and it's too easy to create stitches where none were before. It's still a lovely colour, though - well, palette of colours.

      Thank you. I'm seriously considering keeping the blanket for myself.

    I'm no longer too picky when it comes to knitting. No one will notice the odd mistake or two anyway. Xx

      I feel that I've entered the 'near as dammit' phase of my life, and I'm happy with that.
