Sometimes I really envy Little B. Everyday he learns something new, something clicks inside his brain and he realises something which never made sense before. Learning something for the first time or at least working out a problem gives me a real kick. So as a pre-New Year’s resolution I have decide to document things I have learned.
I think if you are constantly knitting or crocheting you are always picking up new stitches and techniques. I am certainly always wanting to improve the finishing of garments.
Number 1 lesson is an interior decorating tip. Not that long ago we stayed in a totally gorgeous cottage on the North Norfolk Coast. The interior was beautifully put together, with lovely cosy details. In the living room, each chair and sofa had at least one blanket draped on its arm. This looked very stylish, however the added benefit was as the night drew in we dragged the blanket across and snuggled under it. Suddenly I was sold. I have begun very slowly to add to our collection of blankets which have a dual use in the winter, instant snuggle and a small barrier against the rather dirty paws of our gorgeous cat. Blankets are the answer!
