Finished and ongoing.

This blanket for baby George is finished, it will live in mummy's car to keep him warm through the cold months. I really enjoy making ripple blankets of all sizes, but these little ones are so quick to make. 

 I used Patons Baby smiles 4ply with a 3.5 hook.

 I am using some yarn purchased from Hobbycraft, I got 3 balls of 150 grms in a buy 2 get 1 free offer, I am using a smaller hook size of 2.5, the yarn is 4ply, so it's a tight woven design. I have no reason to make this, except I am enjoying the process. 

 The photo's here do not show the true beauty of the shades, it's really dark here today. I should be doing other things, but I am loving this blanket

I have been watching a video for a different design, I love this star design, it's Bella Coco on you tube, I used her video for the ripple blanket, I find her videos to be well lit and easy to follow. BUT, I will not start this until the new year. 

Nothing much happening here, my brother is here for a few days, and he has not wanted to do much, so lazy days in together, watching a few films in the evening, it's fun to catch up with him.
I have had time to do crochet, but not much else, I did not want to be busy doing things when he is here. On the downside, it means my sew machine has not been used, I have a few things to make, which now won't be looked at until in December, which is later than I wanted.
I still have one pair of socks to finish, just the foot to knit, which won't take long.
Tomorrow I hope to marzipan one Christmas cake, for our daughter, I am still feeding our cake brandy, I have stopped feeding her cake as Will loves cake and I don't want it to boozy for him.
Nothing much to do in the garden, just pick up leaves, it's now so cold and gloomy, not to good to be outside. I did take a couple of cuttings off my outside geranium, it's in a raised bed and should survive the winter, it was left out last year, so it's just in case, it's such a pretty plant.
