More Blankets & UFO Update!

What a surprise! Anyone would think this was a blanket blog ....

Just wait until the blankets hiding in the Square Dancer's camera are downloaded to the blog - I can't wait to see them.

This wrap doesn't photograph well - it is quite stunning in the flesh, but the stripes make me feel a bit dizzy in the photo - anyone remember those optical illusions in Coles Funny Picture Book?

Above and below, two smaller wraps knitted for Mahboba's Promise. Unless we find  another aid group that takes knitted items to Afghanistan, they will probably go to direct to WWL who will find a home for them I'm sure. 

The top wrap was a mishmash of small and large squares which had to be somehow made into a  whole.
The one below was sewn together by Mary, a very productive knitter and sewer. Thank you, Mary.

Below a wrap put together with crochet - a quick and effective method.

UFO UPDATE

The UFO we inherited, dried and was unravelled and here it is - the yarn from the unravelling mixed with odds and ends from a huge bag of tiny leftovers. As a lot of the original yarn is quite thin, I'm mixing it with the leftovers, often knitting two yarns together to give the rug more stability and warmth.

It is being made in strips the width of the wrap - I'll keep going until it's the right length. This will be no work of art - I'm already embarrassed - er, sorry -  that I had started to post about it (( : {  !  But, once started on the road less travelled, there's no turning back!
