My first blog

Okay this is my first time blogging so it could be fun learning my way round the pages.
It was suggested to me by some very dear friends and knitting followers that I keep them up to date on my knitting activity through blogging, as everyone lives so far apart, a couple of friends even live over the pond.

Well true to my name Seasonknits this week I have been toying with some new pattern ideas for the spring and summer, so watch this space I will let you know what springs to mind !

The past couple of days have been real fun trying to sew together a beautiful stroller blanket I have knitted for my friend in America, looked so easy on paper when I drew the squares, but as we all do with knitting when we are enjoying ourselves I did more of one sort of square than another, extra red then blue, you know how it is. I placed them all on the floor and kept mixing them up till they looked good, an hour later feeling pleased with my effort, in walks hubby and he tells me I have 3 white squares together, so between two of us, another hour later we are done, all placed and ready to sew.

Yesterday I finished the blanket and the result is this, just needs the edge doing then it will be on its way to my friends grandchild.
