Not exactly on the needles more on the hook but here's the baby blanket I'm working on for my expected arrival grin I've followed the tutorial by Lucy on Attic24 for the granny stripes blanket smile

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

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

Thanks everyone grin 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 smile

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 cheese

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

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!
