Managed to get the darn thing cast off, and have just finished weaving in all those yarn ends

That is the coolest thing ever Booz - great job!

[boozymatic]

Thanks Nancy! I just washed the thing, and I tell ya, it weighs a ton soaking wet. It's now spread on the bed, with towels and a tarp. And an Emily sprawled on it, too!

I just love the way it turned out, and definitely want to make another one... but I need a break from big knitting projects for a while. I've got scarves and hats to finish for other people - and I get a new pair of mitts!!

That usericon just cracks me up.

Wowza! I love the design. It matches your kitty too.

Sorry, I don't know anything about blocking but good luck w/ it.

Thanks - I just love the design. When I saw the pattern, I knew it was the right one for these particular people. It was designed by a woman who studied early childhood development, the bold stripes and contrasting colours help keep the young'uns entertained as their visual acuity develops.

The colours in the photo are a bit off - the blanket is a deep navy and off-white.

Emily likes it! :D

[boozymatic]

She's actually spread out on it right now, even though it's soaking wet. Good thing Simon and his family aren't allergic to cats!

Emily is a very silly kitteh. :P

[boozymatic]

No question on that. Of course, now she's draped across Eniastoa's pillow to dry off. *hee*

She's just annoyed that she can't help with a scarf I'm making for someone who *is* allergic to cats. Somehow she still manages to sneak the occasional whisker into the bag it's in.

We should get together and chat sometime soon. Do you MSN?

Looks cool! Can't wait to see it blocked.
