Bedspiration

My latest mission is to re-vamp by bedding, as I seem to have 'acquired' random douvet covers over the years rather than picking out things I love, and I am sick of the sight of a couple of my patterned sets

Presenting my new bedspiration -



Just at all those deliciously mismatched dots and stripes...


And having been ispired by some of you clever crafty blog ladies, guess what I did last night?




Ta da! My very first knitted square... I am rather ambitiously planning a knitted square double bed sized blanket as my first ever knitting project. So far so good - only a million more to go!

  5. Isn't knitting fun! I'm jealous you've found the Knitting Ladybird book.

    I love knitting... I made a cupcake the other night... it's not perfect and I need to practice some more but it's getting there!

    My mum's making knitted donuts for me at the moment!
