I knitted blankets for my other grandchildren so was excited to make this for number 3. It isn't a difficult pattern and fair play to Rowan and Martin Storey, the chart is easy to read. It's quite an intuitive pattern, in fact I have another 2 blocks to do and if Im honest Im a bit bored, and thinking about modifying it... perhaps extending the top and adding some cables??? I am quite disappointed with the wool. It isn't as soft as I imagined and splits easily. I had to cut some bits out which is not what you expect from a wool of this price from Sirdar. The colour disappointed me also, its quite a dark cream. I find white can be a bit stark, but I wish I had chosen it now. I can see me finishing this, then deciding to go buy some pink Sport thickness wool and making my own pattern up, like last time!
