And I have impressed myself. The pattern is really easy with you tube tutorials to ensure that you understand it all.

Wow!
That's lovely. I never got past squares[size=78%]. Made a lovely bedspread though. [/size]

Oh lovely, a crafty post

Buttermilk that's gorgeous! it must have been fun to make.

For some reason I did not one tiny bit of craft stuff from the very first days of the pandemic until the day before yesterday. Now I have begun knitting a jumper with a giant cone of Hebridean yarn, spun for me 9 years ago by the Halifax lads, (with lots of other cones too), plus a cone of 'orangutan' mohair from World of Wool (at great expense), knitted together. I've nearly done the welt, bottom up (I tried top down starting a few years back with bought yarn, hated the process which is possibly why I did nothing for so long - it's not finished yet, lurks evilly in a knitting bag). Everyone is talking about things that are good for your mental health and I am so happy just knitting the right way up

Cool! two colours as well!

I always thought that crochet is the slightly less cool sister to knitting... but since my left wrist is now really quite arthritic and knitting is now impossible, I have started to use up may remaining batch of Shetland wool and am turning it into a giant granny square, just going round and round (it's a square) until I run out... (and with the central heating off this winter it will be very useful as a lightweight but still quite warm blanket round the house).

You still only use one colour per row. Only two stitches a double and a treble. Really, really easy to do and the stitch count remains the same all the way through.

This is really warm for those chilly times.
