Two weeks ago when it became clear that things were getting serious I announced I’d run a comfort blanket knitalong and use our techniques videos to put together squares for a design.
Gosh, that was naïve of me!
I had an idealised picture of what I wanted this time to be like, and the reality is far from it! We now have the kids at home, and they are needing pretty much our full attention every hour that they are awake, which doesn’t leave anything very much for self-care (which is massively important), let alone work. So thinking that I would be able to design (design?!? that’s something I find hard at the best of times!) a blanket, knit it, write it up clearly enough for others to follow, and write blog posts, was utterly crackers! I’m sorry, but in order to get through this, I need to do a bit less, not a bit more!

Twelve months, three hats, two sets of hand warmers, two pairs of socks, one child’s sweater, a cowl, a scarf, a shawl, and one delightful bunny later, our Boost Your Knitting knitalongs have, somehow, come to an end … today we’re peeking back at what’s happened over the past twelve months!

I certainly could!
I’ve been wearing my finished Hey Now Sweater absolutely NON-STOP since it came off my needles just before we went to Unravel. The Mustard yellow Something to Knit With Aran just makes me beam with joy. I am so pleased with it!
