Knitting is a fun thing, relaxing thing to do no matter how long the project takes :)<br /><br />Baiba - I think it might get a bit bulky as a knitting project?? I am not a knitting expert by any means tho so maybe there would be a way to do it. I guess you could knit each row in one piece then just sew the rows together at the end?

The group's proving quite popular already, with 25 members and counting in a couple of days!<br />Thank you so much for the idea of a sky blanket, I love blues sooo much and love making blankets, but I find it hard to make a blanket's colours random enough - I really think this idea will achieve a nice random effect.<br />Best wishes,<br />LissyLissyhttp://www.ravelry.com/groups/2014-sky-blanketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-22661864746940930842013-11-13T14:47:48.618+00:002013-11-13T14:47:48.618+00:00Oh, that sounds like a fun way to do it!

Thank you for sharing such a great idea! :)HildeTodnemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16944398134866599678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-1767000442323377702013-11-07T12:02:03.508+00:002013-11-07T12:02:03.508+00:00Chrissie - thanks! x
