.....Woodland wrap.....

.....Hello my lovelies, and i think i shall just start by saying ,, wasn't it a jubilant jubilee.. it was good to watch the rest of it on the telly from a cosy sofa, after our wet attempt in London on Sunday, still,, at least we tried.......well done Queenie, you always amaze me how calm you look.......

................So moving on......some time before Christmas i showed some pictures of a 'woodland blanket', that i was crocheting in lovely 'Shetland wool', i showed a few squares completed and even showed you a knitted border that i wanted to attach around the edge.......well''.....i ummed and ahhhed over the whole thing and none of it seemed right to me...so i unpicked the border, stitched the blocks in a different order, and added a nice little edge,, and i have finished what is now my..''
