Ten Stitch blanket No, 2

 I love this pattern and will probably knit it again, the Ten Stitch Blanket. Thanks go to the designer, Frankie Brown.  (As of this writing, more than 8,363 of these blankets have been knit). This particular one will be  be going to Lifting Hands International,  a refugee cause. Here is the link to the Ravelry group that supports LHI: Hats and More for Refugees Worldwide.

This is clever knitting, no more than 10 stitches on the needle at a time. If you are smart, you can knit in the other direction without turning your work, but I can't. I'm sure that someone does this.

It's all wool, about 3x4 feet.  It might be fun to knit one in a 9-patch design using the same technque.



I like to MAKE in fiber and I will keep on making. Knowing that I am not making the 75th sweater for myself (or someone else) but rather something for someone who actually NEEDS it feels good. I can also source low or sometimes no cost WOOL yarn through friends or my fiber guild.
