Trying for a Baby Part 7

Knitting is easier than you might think, I'm pretty terrible at most other crafts, but as knitting only involves following a pattern (and therefore no creativity/drawing/sewing in a straight line), I can manage it ok! My mum taught me the basics when I was little, and I retaught myself when my sister was pg with my first niece using the Usborne knitting for beginners book I'd had as a child. :rotfl: Didn't knit any of the lovely 80s designs though - knitted mini skirt anyone? - just used the instructions for the stitches etc.

I love the papoose/swaddle blanket, I've got another one almost finished for my friend who's due any day, and I've got some wool to make one to put away for our baby, once I've finished all my other projects.

Can I be cheeky and ask for the blanket pattern? Ive got til June, should be long enough to make it lol

I've already got a ball of teal wool for my future baby, no idea what I'll make from it though lol x x

Thanks for the well wishes everyone - time is going very slowly today - Moon left for his business trip at 6am, and was up at 4.45am, so I've been awake a lot longer than normal today too. Only a couple of hours to go (11.45).

hope those work ok, if not let me know and I can email them to you
Just a note, it says you need 9 x 50g balls of wool, but I only used 6. My tension/measurements were correct too, so not sure why I used so much less?! It's been the same for my second one too, using a different brand/style of wool.

Lovely knitting job little moog. I'm quite crafty and can turn my hand to most things, but knitting I've never gotten the hang of.

I'm a bit quiet at the moment cos I'm too busy being a worry-wart, so don't mind me

Hugs for you and tinks too.
