Blanket update

Here is the overview so far. I've used 4 different shades of yellow so far, some more noticeable then others.
I still have the rest of the current ball, and a new 100g ball to crochet on, hopefully to be finished by 11th March.

Cancer awareness

I've found this group on Ravelry, 12 months of awareness which creates 6" by 6" squares to go to various charities.
It's made me think, I want to do some fundraising for charities, seeing that as of 26th Feb I will be unemployed until I find a new job, I might as well do something useful with my time.
I've found a list of charities by month, August and December seem empty though.
I may walk, dress up, bake or make things.
If anyone would like to join in please let me know.

I will try to update this when I can.

Fingerless gloves, free pattern



This is pattern done on 2 needles, no DPN!

First glove. I wear it on my right hand.
1 pair size 4mm knitting needles
1 ball 100g wool
1 tapestry needle


This is the yarn I used, although it is the orange-y version http://www.sirdar.co.uk/yarns/fashion/Summer%20Stripes%20Dk Sombrero 315

Cast on 28 stitches. This was just right for my hand, I don’t consider myself to have large or small hands, around average. When adapting the size, make sure to keep to an even number of stitches. As a guide, 24 for woman, 28-32 for a man.
