This pile of wool was, until about 4 hours ago, a blanket I had first knitted many years ago. As one of my first knitting projects it was full of holes, and this was made worse still when I decided to put it straight in the washing machine yesterday without any thought to its delicate nature....oops. However, I haven't used it in years and was too embarrassed to ever give it as a gift or lend it to a guest on those chilly winter evenings, hence I unravelled it, in a rather unceremonious fashion and it now sits on my floor as a somewhat noodle-like looking pile of yarn. What will it become now? I have no idea, probably another blanket, maybe a couple of cushions....Either way, given that the temperature outside is dropping and snow is forecast, I figure it's the perfect time to get my knit on and make something warm while cosied up with a cup of tea and maybe a bit of cake!
