hi marru, and welcome to the thread. you could start with 6 inch squares, which are then made into blankets, or you could knit anything you fancy, a lot of us knit for a lady called LOU on the lovinghands website, google and it should be easy to find

hi marru, cant remember which post the details are on all about this thread someone with the braincell will be along shortly to let you know as SK said squares are always useful and lou from loving hands happily finds homes for everything we send her. mrs twins makes blankets with squares and often posts in here as well as on her own blog.
lovinghands.org.uk is worth popping into as thats the other place we charity knitters hang out and mostly send stuff to

Thank you. I have had a browse in the loving hands and tried to find patterns that I could do. I have five 50g balls of white Sirdar Snuggly 2 ply. I would like to make them into premature baby blankets. If I use pearl pattern then what size should I aim for? (Or should I use 2 ply for something else, like hats?)

mrs-moneypenny

oh Lou will love you forever if you knit baby stuff in 2ply she keeps threatening us with challenges for it as its her jarn of choice.

question is Marru do you use time for knitting or stitching? there just arent enough hours in the day

Marru

Well, I can't take my wolves to work with me - too big (done one ninth of it so far):




But I can sit on my lunch break listening online lectures while knitting

So please just help me get started :j
