Meanwhile, I've been averaging a square a day for my patchwork blanket, so I'm up to 10 squares now. I'm basically going through the 'Vogue Knitting' book this Simon bought me and learning all the new knitting stitches (so far simple texture stitch and flying geese are hits).
I'm not sure how much longer I'll carry on with that though as my Nan has just been given what must be about 5000g of bright red wool. Along with the two 700g balls of pink wool she was given she said it was all a little intimidating and has given the red monster to me, so I'm thinking a big knitted red car with moving wheels or a thick hooded coat with sewn-in mittens may be coming up. This will be my very first attempt at writing my own knitting pattern so bear with me while I try to get it perfect. I'm aiming to have quite a few baby clothes knitting patterns on this blog over about 6 months. I might also include some video tutorials and photo tutorials of free knitting patterns and knitting stitches for beginners (which I consider myself to be too, so we'll be learning together). In the meantime, here's a picture of my cat Louie enjoying the patchwork blanket so far...
