I've now pretty much run out of suitable chunky wool from my stash, and I was hoping that the 25 squares I've knitted already would be enough for my patchwork blanket. I just tried laying out all the squares on the bed to see how big the blanket would be - the answer, nowhere near big enough. I'll just have to shelve this project for the time being and keep my fingers crossed that eventually I'll come across enough wool at a car boot or a charity shop to make at least 10 more squares. I think it'll look OK when it is eventually finished, although I do have some vague ideas about prettying it up by adding some felt flowers to some of the plain coloured square. I'll see, I've got to finish the darned thing first!

Thanks for leaving a link to reactivecooking - I've enjoyed looking through the recipes. x

I have a quick question, is there a specific way of sewing all those squares together?
Love your blog by the way.
