Strange thing for a knitter to buy
Well that's what DH said anyway, but I was browsing in a charity shop and saw this bag of knitted squares (well moss stitch rectangles actually but let's not get picky) and decided they needed to be put to good use. When I went to the till the lady said " Oh, I'm glad you are buying them, they must have taken someone a very long time to knit" to which I politely agreed and somehow managed to refrain from adding ' but it didn't stop you only charging 50p for them did it?'
Anyway, after playing around for a while I came up with a layout I was happy with and a couple of evening later I had this....
which will wend it's way with my next Baby Pack Project pack - Very satisfying to have created a brightly coloured little blankie and put someone elses hard work to good use.

Wow that was a good find...I never find anything like that in the charity shops around here!! But I have to agree someon put quiet a bit of work into it for then not to finish it....but it will go to a good caus in the end
Probably only a knitter would buy it! Great rescue.
That is such a great thing. Perfect little blamket now.
