401 Posts and a Ripple Blanket


In celebration of my 401st post I show you my latest finished object: a Neapolitan-flavoured ripple blanket crocheted for the 1yo daughter of a friend. This blanket was completed on Tuesday night and is already well-travelled having visited both Perth and China recently.

It is very snug and had been looked-upon lovingly by the cats of the family. However, their attempts to sit upon the blanket have been unsuccessful and it will be wrapped this evening ready to pass to its new owner.

Next on the to do list? Either a pair of socks, for me, or a blanket promised to dad for his birthday.

Gees I'd love a big bowl of ice cream now!! What a gorgeous blanket - perfect for a 1 year old girl. My Aunt crocheted Monet a blanket when she was about 1 and Monet loves to have it on her bed at night....

Happy 400 plus 1 posts!

That looks just as good as the first few rows promised it would. Gorgeous.

Love it, colours and all. How very disappointing for the pusses, I can imagine sizing it up too.

Stunning! I love chocolate and pink together...my girls have a few Oobi knits in that combo and they're just gorgeous. You're such a clever thing!
