Today was the day that we all took our knitted squares into Brownies. However before Carol collected them all up, we laid them all out to see how big a blanket they would make.

I bought this card for a friend's fortieth today and to be honest it sounds like turning forty won't be so bad - I like the idea of floral aprons. Plus by the time I'm forty I might have progressed enough with my knitting to make a tank top or two!

Having un-picked my first attempt I am very pleased to have finally finished a knitted square for Brownies. I'm now going to try another one with some thicker wool!

In a couple of weeks we are having a knitting evening at Brownies in order to produce lots of squares to be combined into large blankets for charity, however as I haven't knitted for years I thought I needed some practice if I'm to be any help to the Brownies.  I bought some wool and needles whilst we were at the table sale on Saturday and then tonight I took them along to Brownies to get some tips from Carol (Brown Owl) on how to cast-on, etc.. I've knitted about 2 rows so far, it's taken me about half-an-hour and to be honest I'm not particularly impressed with my efforts.  I'd like to blame the wool but in reality it's probably me and I think I'll need a lot more practice in order to produce something that could be used!
