I have just treated myself to a knitting book called ‘Blankets and Throws to Knit’ by Debbie Abrahams. It has the most gorgeous pictures… lots of beautiful squares… colourful ones for a seaside theme with beach huts, ice cream cones and sailboats. It has very grown up ones with plain, self-coloured squares but with the addition of beads incorporated and raised patterns. Ideal if you want a small knitting project to take with you somewhere.. a square can be done on small needles, and I put mine into a pretty, silk-lined drawstring bag I just made, and it fits into a larger bag I often have with me on days out, also containing a book, water, iPod, crystals for safe travelling, water and biscuits.
