All Christmas presents now knitted. I am particularly pleased with the coat hangers, but definitely need to get the stitch count down from 41 start.
Inevitably made more diamonds, as they are too easy, but blankets are proliferating. Thought I might make a tote bag along the lines of the cushion. Initial plan was 3x3. Needed to do a straight edge for the top, but sides and based can be folded round. In the search for straps came across pyjama girdles in Rowells (along with nice spotted fabric for lining). This would be better as single strap. Note that Rowells also have curtain rings and D rings sold singly. As shop is up for sale and will most probably close down, must get back there quick if idea works out.
