Would it be making bold statements to profess that the handmade gift giving commitment I made at the start of this year has well and truly started with a bang!?!
I started the corner granny blanket only two weeks ago and it has come together pretty darn quickly. It is super simple to make with those rows of lovely trebles running down two sides. I completed it with a simple red border since the recipient of this one is an Australia Day baby, hence the red, white and blue!
And all wrapped up...
I'm certain I saw this idea on Pinterest at one point - stitching names into paper doilies and then whacking them onto the gift, but for the life of me I can't find the linkyloo to it!
(yes, that's Christmas wrap... but it's Knitted! Perfect for wooly gifts!)
I forgot to measure the blanket before I wrapped it up but it's certainly large enough for a toasty lap blanket for a grown up and since this is going to a nine year old girl I am sure it will be fine! I used Patons Cotton Blend and went through a hole bunch of the cream but only a few balls of the blues.
