Knitting

[Mummy2Adam]

I only start knitting at the end of last year and I decided I was going to make a patchwork blanket for baby as my first knitting project, after a few months gap I got back into it about 2 months ago and my blanket is coming along nicely but slowly, hoping it will be finished for when baby arrives! Is anyone else knitting for their little one?
Heres a pic of where Im up to now, its 4 squares wide but ive not decided how many down im going to do yet x x

That's lovely!! I started knitting a blanket too, about halfway with it now, but struggling as never really knit and its so complicated!!

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Thanks hunny I know what you mean the amount of times ive got a few lines from completing a square and dropped a few stitches and undone it all, i think it would be nearly finished by now if i didnt do that!
You will have to post a pic of yours hunny x x

What a lovely blanket hon! I haven't actually attempted to knit since I was a little girl when my nanna taught me so I don't have the confidence to try anything really. Luckily my mum is pretty good and OH's nanna is an avid knitter so I am relying on them at the mo! x x

How cute! I've been knitting a blanket on and off, it will take me the whole 9 months to finish it lol!

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Thanks Bella and Sarah, i know what you mean about it taking the full 9 months was hoping about a month ago that i would of finished the blanket by the time i find out whether we are team pink or blue as i was going to try knitting something the appriopriate colour but been as though we hopefully find out in 4 days Ive got no chance! x x

You will just have to do another one in blue or pink as well!

Baby would be too old for a blanket by the time i finish two lol x x

 

[Sarah13]

Lol! Took me whole nine months last time as well! I'm using that new pompon wool it knits up really quickly and lovely and soft, I'll need to get a photo up to show you, I've just been lazy knitting it!

am currently working on an outfit for little one to wear home from hospital.

my next mini project is a hat. I'm currently working on a wrap-over cardi. love knitted bits, just wish I had legions of knitters, my mum's got her arm in plaster and can't grip a pen, let alone knitting needles.

It's my soothing relaxing time in the evenings

I've attached a pic of my efforts, imagine it twice the size and ironed flat!! made a few mistakes on it but you cant tell unless you look really close!!!!

M2A - You could awaysput a nice pink or blue trim or squares once you know which team you are. both baby blue and pink go with brown and white... you are doing amazing job...

I have a pink, boue and white blanket that my nanna gave me a very long time ago. She passed away a few years ago so having the blanket to take the baby home will help think she is close.


I am working on a cross stick as got into that about a year ago also... Have been too sick and sleepy to do anything for about two months but will get my motivation back as I will need to if I want to finish it before baby is born.

It is a forever friends teddy bear clock... Am nearly finished one teddy bear on the 12. Still have 3 more bears and 11 more hours and a boarder... Will get going again tonight.

love the stitching, where did you get the pattern? have a friend who is itching to start stitching something for pickle, but as we're planning on staying team yellow, it'll have to be something quite gender neutral

 

[Chookette]

I think I got this one from Hobby Craft.... It does have a fair amount of pink in it so if I feel adventurious I may add a bit of blue too as we are not planning on finding out...

will take a look Graci.

I still have the knitting needles I got aged 14 from a charity shop, think they've worn down to the way my hands work now so can't bear to replace them!
