I've spent the last 2 evenings working on a new stitch for a baby blanket. Thought I'd have a change from the 'Call the Midwife' blankets. Finished my first 100gm ball and, boy, is this pattern yarn hungry. Normally I would have been over half way through by now, but with this pattern I haven't even done 12" yet! I simply can't decide if I like it or not. I'm an impatient hooker and like things that grow quickly but this is trying my patience. I QUITE like the crossed stitch and it has the look of a baby cellular blanket, but at this rate it will take double the wool and double the time, so really isn't cost effective when it comes to orders. Think it might be time to rip it back.
On a cheerier note, I have ordered a new vintage pattern. Isn't it pretty?
Very, very similar to the 'call the midwife' one but with a few more holes!
I'd hoped it would come today, but it hasn't.
Patience is a virtue, but not one that I possess.
and
THE FINAL OUTCOME!
