A week or so ago I had a long car trip....I wrote about it here and in those two days sitting in the car I knitted and knitted and unpicked and unpicked.
All in all a very fustrating time, and the reason for all that angst was the fact that I didn't read the knitting pattern correctly. I thought that it was so very simple and memorised it and then just carried on trying to adapt it myself...thinking there was a mistake in the pattern .
Duh, it was only when a good friend showed me that I had missed a KFB in the sequence of stitches that the penny dropped !
I feel SO stupid !!Meanwhile I had cast on and knitted a few inches of another zig zig blanket...this one from the ripple stitch book that I have.
and now I am not sure whether to unpick this and cast on for the zig zag blanket or carry on knitting this...... maybe I should do both ?
We are still waiting for the baby to arrive....thank you all so much for your kind comments, it can't be too long now !

oh, the WAITING!!! Always such a special, if agonizing, time :^) The colours in your blanket-in-progress are absolutely beautiful and I think I would have a hard time putting it down...
Both blankets would be lovely!! But tht's a lot of knitting. What's the first book?
Yes,Diana , you are right, it would be a lot of knitting....too much at the moment perhaps. I still have lots of other knitting projects waiting to be finished.
The zig zag blanket is on Ravelry and is also in the magazine called The Knitting Collection.
i would stay on with the one now, it's really lovely sally. and please don't feel stupid, you are an amazingly talented knitter. now i think i'm going to go find that zigzag blanket to try my hand at it...
thank you for sharing!
The colors are delicious. I just sewed a slipper inside out--what is going on???!! Actually, that's not that unusual for me. Baby and Mom will love either, I think, but it's a big investment of time, so you should do what you will most enjoy.
