Its been noisy here today, Betty's family have been making a start on clearing her flat so there has been a lot of banging and crashing. I know Betty kept a lot of cash in her flat so they were probably looking for that.
I went to the summer house this afternoon, Steve was out which means I get chance to talk to people. Unfortunately Steve arrived back in site whilst I was still chatting to the neighbours so he's now sulking, still it means it's quiet!
I've made a start on turning the yarn scraps into a blanket, a lot of the yarn is very thin, probably 3 ply. Because of this I'm doubling the yarn as I work so it should be warm and it's growing quickly. There is a lot of white yarn so I'm using one strand of white and one strand of colour, it won't be a pretty blanket but it will definitely be warm.
I might back it with a brushed cotton sheet to stop any cold draughts creeping in.

Knitting with two strands often makes such lovely variegated colours.
From experience, two strands make a much cosier blanket and I love the idea of adding a liner. It sounds great for snuggling.
So very sorry to hear of the sad passing of your friend, Betty. I hope you are okay. Carole R.
Sounds like you are getting lots done on the warm blanket. You sure know what you are doing!
Glad you were able to get a little chat time at least. It’s important. And your blanket will be wonderful this winter if yours has started like our weather in the northwest coast across the pond.
