Are you sick of the colours yet? Apologies for that, but I told you I was a slow knitter!! Well, getting faster with experience, but perhaps not as committed as I could be... I've acknowledged the fact that I won't get this blanket knitted in time. I'm also glad for the fact that this will be a warmer months babe. I managed to finish the first baby blanket a couple of days before the first babe arrived. The second blanket is still waiting the final square, but has been useful regardless. This one has many squares to go... I wonder if we decide to add another owlet to the nest further down the track what stage we'll get to. They may have it by the time they're ten, or maybe I should outsource... kind of defeats the purpose of handmade though... hmmm.... Must remember the process is the most important part and the fact that it is made with love. Even if it takes a while in the finishing. That's the bit the owlets appreciate most and all their favourite clothes and things have been made with that same love...
Preaching to the converted with so many bloggy types out there, I'm sure. We get the handmade thing, right? Dolly gets it too...
Head on over to Kirsty's to see other beautiful handmade stuff people were up to earlier today (yep, public holiday here... I almost forgot to play along!!).
My daughter's blanket came along when she was about 1. My son's has yet to be created. (He's almost 2.) So, you're head of me at least! :)
