  • Thank you greentiger, I've really enjoyed working on her, I have two more in the seasons range to complete that look very similar but have slightly different dresses and borders with different colour ways.

    I've knitted a blanket but need to wait for baby to be born now do I can decide if it needs and edging or a pink or blue heart sewing on.

    Here are my latest cards.

    Anniversary card for my daughter and son-in-law (and a spare). This makes a start to my March cards.

    That blanket is very pretty, mrs-m.

    I've just discovered that I've made a mistake doing the 'join as you go' on mine. 15/16 bits have had to come back off, and I'll have to redo the final round on each of them and reattach. Just my stupidity; I though it looked wrong but didn't bother checking! Grr.
