Blankie is finished!

PoshPaws_3

I didn't want to cause problems in the Daily Thread by posting this there, but I so wanted to show off my knitted sofa blankie that I finished yesterday.



Its not intended to be a chair or sofa cover, but rather something you can pull over your knees on a chilly morning, or evening, while sipping a hot chocolate and eating crumpets.

All the wool was 100% donated by friends, family and freecyclers - and its only the second thing I've EVER, in 47 years, (the first thing was a scarf!) managed to knit, so forgive me if I'm proud of it. :T

That looks great - you must have put a lot of work into that. I'm such a slow knitter that no-one will ever get that kind of thing out of me. The last time I tried was when I was expecting my eldest and knitted him a cardigan. I've got as far as the back and one sleeve, but since he's just turned eighteen I'm not anticipating seeing him wearing it now if I ever get done My own sofa/ picnic blanket is made from an assorted collection of scrounged bar towels sewn together - I guess I'll just have to settle for not having the same class or stamina that you do

Brilliant, thats more than I've done in 37 years lol

Well done, you must be really proud!
It's lovely BTW - my memories of HM knitted blankets in our family (think 70s) are of luminous scald-your-eyeballs type colours thrown together which, quite frankly, looked like technicolour vomit! Yours is very understated & easy on the eye balls. Hope it becomes an heirloom to pass down through the generations.
