Finished my rainbow stashbuster blanket, but...

Superb piece of work, you can be very proud! You could use up odd bits of wool by knitting the grandchildren some of Jean Greenhowe's animals?

That’s very impressive Witzend. I love the rainbow colours. It just proves what can be done with our bags of stash.

I wish I could, *@B9exchange, but their house is awash with soft toys, not to mention the other kind!

I think it’ll have to be more twiddle muffs now. I did make some for the local hospital, but there’s a dementia care home I will ask, too.

It’s lovely Witzend, very cheery on a day like today.

It's lovely Witzend
Your GDC will love it.

That's brilliant, Witzend! I think the stash breeds when you're not looking though, so no matter how many blankets or twiddle muffs you make, it'll always be following you around...

Well done! That is a lovely blanket

You are so talented, i hope you are proud of your creation x

Wow, this is great! Well done, it really is lovely, and I do love how you've left all the ends as a fringe - very effective!

That looks great Witzend I am knitting Father Christmas's like there is no tomorrow!

What are twiddle muffs? I have never heard of them.

They are for dementia patients Nanof3.

It was miles easier than sewing them all in, @Bathsheba!

If anybody wants one, there’s a good twiddle muff pattern if you google Oxford University Hospitals Twiddle Muffs - at least that’s where I found mine.
They’re brilliant for using up odds and ends.

I just wish I’d found out about them a few years sooner, when my poor mother might have benefited.

How many FCs are you making, @Billybob? I made 3, one’s going to the school Christmas raffle (online, no fair this year ?), one for Gdcs and one for son in law’s little niece.

I don’t know what I’d have done without my Christmas knitting during lockdown, but it did feel very weird at first to be knitting such things in April! I soon got over that, though.

Thanks, I will look for the pattern, I'm sure I can find lots of wool.

What a beautiful blanket.

Very good Witzend. Is it in stocking stuffer or garter.

Stocking stitch.

Simply WOW ? I love it .

I love this.....really beautiful colour mix. Something to treasure forever !

It’s just garter stitch, @Sparkling - 2 row stripes and a fringe so no ends to sew in. Except when I wasn’t paying attention (watching TV) and cut the yarn after only one row, but only a few of those.
