Ah, done!

The sun was shining, so I thought it was a good opportunity to show off Lizard Ridge. I love this blanket. I really, really love it. It has been great fun to knit (mostly done in the car or at football matches) and I would reccomend everyone to have a go. Even if you don't like Noro - believe me, it's great in a blanket!

This has been very much like a friendship blanket as so many people have donated a ball of Kureyon to the cause. Many, many thanks go to Kathryn (who actually bought me the first ball from her honeymoon and recently sent me the final ball for square number 20), Kerrie, Fran, Clara, Emma and of course my ever marvellous mum.

The border, which doesn't show up so well here is made with a bright pink kureyon and a dark green one. They go so well together...

Ah, but I love my blanket. Have I mentioned that before?

I am less in love with the Qiviut Mobious though and have broken with every moral I hold true and have frogged something. It took some doing, my heart was racing, I went hot and cold, developing a temperature and a sweat together.

Before

But I was strong. I pulled those needles out and started to pull the knitting down...

During

It was only as I did this that I realised I had gone horribly wrong with the pattern anyway, so it would never have worked out right.

After

This little pile is all that's left that I couldn't wind up. It transformed into a big nasty knot that I just didn't have the inclination to untangle. RIP little mobious.

So now I need a suitable pattern for some very expensive yarn (I could have bought 6 skeins of Posh Yarn's Emily for the same price as this ball of brown yarn. Regretting my impulse buy? Yes, my friends, oh yes.)
