Two blankets finished off from squares knitted by others. Taken to Deloraine Neighbourhood House to be passed on to those in need of some warmth on these cold winter days.
Browsing the latest Australian Country Style mag and knitting diagonal blanket squares from the wool I bought recently from Wirraworra/Bennett and Gregor. 8 ply yarn double, 6.5mm needles, starting with 3 stitches, increasing to 50, decreasing to 3.
Diagonal knit cushion cover finished. The two linen cushions I made from tea towels. The two books I bought :). They are really good ( Chic Boutiquers at Home and Design Bloggers at Home)
Started another diagonal knit cushion cover in reverse colours (cream with brown/grey stripes), and reading the first book in the Stieg Larsson Millennium Trilogy.
