I'm really trying to write down my knitting patterns as I go but I find it really hard to be totally happy with them. I so want to be able to communicate clearly with someone how to make the pattern - but we all think/work so differently - I worry that my directions will frustrate or confuse.
Baby bunny has lots of new mobility skills (she has taken to rolling around everywhere and recently learnt to pull up.) I find my eyes have to be glued to her at all times so she doesn't find her way into the dogs toys (yum) or pulls anything off a table that land on her head (ouch). I have been finding that knitting is an easy thing for me to pick up and put down quickly. (Every peaceful moment is now a crafting moment.) Here she is inspecting my stitches.

The border on this blanket is made using a a simple cable pattern.

I joined the border to the blanket by knitting into stitches along the sides of the blanket and I joined the two ends of the border together using the
three needle bind off technique.The same principle can be used with any pattern you care to use for a border. And the bonus is - no sewing is required!
