Project hibernation works!





I really like the idea of KALs (knit-a-longs); the thought of hundreds of people around the globe knitting the same thing yet creating their own unique project makes me go all fuzzy inside - however, this Mystery Blanket was a bit frustrating with a number of errors appearing in the pattern instructions. After putting this project in hibernation for the best part of a year I finally decided to finish it using my own stitch patterns and techniques and have had great fun, ending up with a 36 square blanket surrounded by a knitted on border from Jane Sowerby's Victorian Lace Today. Just goes to prove that "hibernating" a project can really rejuvenate your work!
