Knitting Tales

Well I finally finished the puppy blanket.  It came out not to bad though adding a border AFTER I had knitted it was a killer of thing to do.  As you can imagine there was lots of unpicking and cursing going on but I got there in the end.

Lesson learned - knit the border as you go. 

Despite my lopsided photography skills the blanket is actually a rectangle and a lovely coral/orangey shade of colour.  

I am now onto my next knitting project.  Another blanket.  This time for a cat.  He's a super cute kitten at the moment but will grow up to be a very large Norwegian Forest.  .

I'm doing a different pattern this time and knitting the border as I go.  So much easier.  The whole pattern is a mixture of seed stitch and stocking stitch and so far it's coming out really well.
