‘Wigglesworth’ is the nickname the blanket’s recipient has for her growing bub.

Warp and weft: Patons Washed Haze Aran
Weave structure: tabby/plain
Sett: 7.5 epi (1+1+1+0 in a 10 dent reed)
Comments: The yarn weaves up well except for one problem – it tends to twist on itself, and I had to spent a lot of time untwisting it.

I gave the blanket to its recipient on the weekend and she was delighted. I also handed out the baby bibs I made earlier in the year to the other friends with babies who were camping with us to test for me. If I get positive feedback I’ll chalk it up as a good, quick gift to make.

Yes, camping. On the year’s wettest weekend. But despite the rain, we had a good time. It was only when the shelter started to leak that we gave in and came home early.

I took along knitting, macrame jewellery and jeans to cut up. I did manage the latter, but then had to hang the strips up to dry when I got home. And I knit in the car on the way home.
