Today I learnt that I can knit a whole hexipuff during a kids party. That’ll be me volunteering to take the smalls to all their future parties then 😂 where have you been knitting your blankets? Have you stuck to the sofa, or taken them further afield?

Should I stay monogamous or should I cheat?
Obv I’m talking about knitting!! I’ve been working on my Triangulum temp blanket and have almost finished January. I’ve had a little taste of my Beekeepers Quilt due to forgetting my data journal when I stayed at my parents last night… but I’m wondering about another blanket: The Kaleidoscope. I’ve bought the yarn. Do I cast on and alternate or stay faithful and finish one first? What would you do?
Hi everyone, how are you getting on with the #AYYKCAL23 ? I’ve completed the first row of the Triangulum blanket and have started coming back on myself. That means I’ve got a few completed hexagons now. The technique for tightening the centre is inspired and so satisfying!
My furry companion, Diesel, has been keeping me company as it’s far too wet for him outside! Have you got any knitting companions?
Happy New Year! Today marks the start of the new year and my blanket KCAL (knit and crochet along). Are you casting on something new, or are you picking up a project that’s been languishing? Let me know!
I’m making the Triangulum blanket first. Each triangle is a different day in 2021. They each have a grey border, then the internal triangles show the hottest and coldest daily temps.
Join in the fun using #AYYKCAL23 #AYYKAL23 and/or #AYYCAL23 to make your toots findable
I’ve had a little break from finding new blanket patterns… partly cos I’ve had Covid and have been knackered, but also cos I now have three on my list (complete with yarn bought) to make next year and I seem to be unable to avoid temptation when I’m tired 🤣
I’ve taken advantage of being bed bound and cast on my Triangulum temperature blanket early (WIPs are allowed). Will you be joining me for the #AYYKCAL23 ? Officially starting on 1st Jan
Weather has turned to rain and I’ve tested positive for Covid… so I’ve been cheering myself up thinking of summers past and future. This blanket pattern epitomizes summer picnics for me. It’s the plaid and the running stitches and the long twisted tassels that does it.

Cast on a blanket with me (doesn’t have to be this one) or work on a WIP and join me for the #AYYKCAL23 starting on 1st Jan.
On my hunt today I found two gorgeous baby blankets. Both use two different coloured yarns in differing ways to stunning effect. The first, Go To Baby Shower Blanket by Marly Bird holds two different coloured yarns together whilst crocheting, giving a marled effect. The second is knit on the diagonal in My Favourite Baby Blanket by Alicia DeHart. She uses two colour fading yarns in alternate stripes to get this lovely blended striped blanket.
The sun has finally been shining in my neck of the woods. Though it’s been icy cold. This Old Forge blanket is the perfect thing to make on such a day. The sun emblem mirrors the weather, and just look at those warm yellows/burnt oranges against the grey for a stunning and warming contrast. Stephen West has done it again with this pattern!
