Just taking things slowly at the moment, enjoying the Olympics, re-painting the study, creating a sewing room. Here is a snuggle blanket I recently finished for a lovely new baby. We didn't know the sex so went for cream and brown stripes, in a cashmere mix (starting them with expensive tastes). I wanted to try a new technique, so learned the very brilliant and pleasing i-cord edging, at the inspiration of Kate Davis. I went for a much simpler version though (she is the knitting genius) and ran it straight off a rib-edging, rather than doing any steeking (next challenge). I'm making another one now for myself (to stave off chilly knees in Autumn).
