Littlest one is starting nursery soon, so it should be easier to he things done.

The sleeves aren't finished yet, but I don't want to frog 😂
Argh, I got so distracted by something I was watching that I changed the colour pattern from 3 colours to 2 😳
The recipient is 2, so she won't care, but now I'm just wondering if I should frog and do it properly? Does the slightly different sleeve style work?

An ex-colleague wants to buy my recent Shaun The Sheep blanket (yay!). She would also like a football (soccer) themed blanket too for her child. I’ve been looking everywhere for a pattern with no success. Any ideas friends please?
Thanks muchly

Yarns all behave so differently, it's worth it. I think people just assume because it's DK, it will all knit up the same. That's never been my experience 😅
Great reasons to swatch for your next project:
🧶 See if yarn is thin or thick.
🧶 check if you're using the right needle size.
🧶 see how the yarn looks when knitted up.
🧶Estimate how much you need.
🧶See how the yarn washes.
