I’m 2 weeks into my wool blanket project. The design can be seen here…………..
Here is the progress on the first rectangle. It’s just over 100cm in length and needs to be 150cm. The photograph was taken on Aunty Di’s table!
It is a long way from complete, but I’m really enjoying the process of creating it.

Hello crafters. I’m not here to advertise specific yarns, so when you make this for yourself, just use whichever yarn, whichever stitch and whichever size needle suits you.
I am knitting with Garter Stitch, with 5mm bamboo knitting needles. I am using whichever wool I can get from the farmers market (because it is cheaper than in the shop).
Here is the rough idea for the single bed blanket. I was going to make a queen size blanket, but decided maybe that was a little too ambitious for my very first knitting project.
I am busy working on my first rectangle, and for this one I am using a pink wool.
You can see the colour I am using in the picture below. At the time of writing this, the strip measured 79cm.
This is going to be a long project. I’d love to know if anyone would be willing to do it with me. My aim from now on is to do 1 rectangle a week.
