OOPS! There is a gremlin on my work in progress!
This is the blanket sewn together original in the middle and new either side
Aoife my six year old has laid Claim to this blanket so she is waiting patiently for it to be finished so that she can put it on her bed!
This is The Original Blanket
This week I am suffering from Crochet Fever! I was being driven demented reading all about the escapades that Lucy at the

http://doyoumindifiknit.typepad.com/ Do you mind if I knit blog are doing in the last couple of weeks, Lucy made the most fab blanket its so gorgeous and Vanessa is working on her equally fab blanket too, so I rooted out all my scraps of wool and although I had asked Vanessa for her pattern and really wanted to make it, I decided not to because while rooting out the wool, I found some baby blankets that my Mum had made for aisling when she was born, and for my niece, she had passed away when Aoife was born but I still used them for both her and Sean & people always commented on them.
So I decided that I would add to the original baby blankets and make them big enough for them too use now that way they would each have something that Nanna made for them which would also be functional, so far so good it seems to be working out ok, I will keep you posted as to how it turns out! I am just using an original Granny Square Pattern for the squares, the only problem is that I really want to make Vanessa's Blanket and I really want to make Lucy's Ripple blanket but I now have a line of children also waiting for a blanket each, aisling, sean and my niece! Oh Such is life, so little time, so much wool!!!!
