Not exactly on the needles more on the hook but here's the baby blanket I'm working on for my expected arrival

I've followed the tutorial by Lucy on Attic24 for the granny stripes blanket

I'm using 5 different shades of Sirdar calico that I bought on my holidays

Why thank you Dark

I'm looking forward to snuggling my baby up in it

Will have to knit something for Ellie in between though as she might get a bit jealous

Oh Dark - I knit Ellie a dolly from LK a few months back and the poor thing is still in her undies! I got bored knitting the dress

that sounds like something I would do!! Lillie is really into peppa pig at the moment... so much so the only thing my nephew seems to say is 'George' at the moment

I would have had brighter ones if I could have too Buzy but the shop didn't have any brighter than the calico in a cotton blend

Tried to pick colours that would do for a boy or a girl too

Great to see a pic of your blanket Suzie!! It's looking really nice!!! It's going to be fantastic when it's done!!

I think I know the doll you mean - I made all the clothes first, inc boy clothes but then couldn't be bothered making the doll!!!!

Thanks everyone

I didn't get to do any to it yesterday and do you know what? My carpel tunnel syndrome was worse last night and kept waking me up!! Think in some strange way the motion of hooking must help

I did do a test square before I started the blanket whilst on my hols and Ellie already has that for her toys but obviously a slightly bigger one for her and if possible in the same wool would be lovely

Oh Goose I have plenty of stash for her to choose from

I have tried holding the hook like a knife but just can't do it! It sort of rests down my palm towards the little finger side iykwim!
