I’m always kntting, and this autumn, I’ve been knitting for charity, and sewing knit squares together to make blankets. Here’s me and my partner of seventeen years with blankets two and three at the donation point. I’m on the left, holding the one I dubbed ‘the ugly blanket’, which I knit all the squares for myself from scraps and oddments of yarn I’ve bought or inherited from failed knitters over the years. We’ve got two more with just ends to be woven in before they’re ready to go, bringing our personal household total to five blankets, plus all the plarn my partner’s been making that other people are crocheting into water resistant sleeping mats. Not bad for about a month’s work.

EDIT: I should clarify, the five blankets were not all knit by me, just assembled, with the exception of the Ugly Blanket. That one’s all me.
