Welcome to
What's on Your Hooks and Needles in February 2024
Will it be an unfinished project? (goodness knows I have plenty of those)
Some yarn that has been hanging around for a loooong time? (goodness knows I have plenty of that)
A new pattern from your to-do list? (that gets longer every day)
Whatever you fancy, I'm sure you'll have a ball (of yarn).....and maybe just feel a little 'lighter' after this month, when you discover what you have accomplished. (I hope I do).
Have fun!!
Colour of the month is
BLACK.
Yes, it can be a little hard (who am I kidding, it can be very hard for a senior like me) to knit comfortably with, but just a very few black squares can make a whole blanket design POP!!
Any hoo, as I always say - NO PRESSURE......surprise yourself and each other, in this, our first 'free' month of the year.

I'm liking the gentle colours in this cosy blanket of Bev's 👍
Lovely subtle colours in this blanket!
Sweet, SWEET colours in your friend, Bev's blanket, Karen!! GORGEOUS!!
14 pairs handwarmers and 11 CoM squares -5 DK & 6 chunky (accidentally picked up chunky instead of aran!)
Beautiful work as always Diane!
Winners all around. I am loving that darling bear.
Stripey handwarmers are great, too.
Good on ya', for making ELEVEN black squares, Diane!!
The stripe combos in your handwarmers are all cheery and will be gratefully received by the children. Pretty as!!
Apologies for the photo, I find it easier to drape the blanket these days. I bought this yarn when on offer, it was lovely to work with, Bonus chunky, Raspberry Ripple, and I have enough for another blanket in the future.
Oh how I wish I could fly to the UK to purchase some of that divine yarn!
Can't wait to see the follow up blanket.
GORGEOUS colourways, Chris!!! Just soooo pretty. :))
