My Oma's Blankets

For years I had this blanket, and the ladybug

pillow that you see the top of.

It was not until I started knitting

that I really feel I saw what I had

in my Oma's blankets.

The one above is such a delightful bright

use of colours in seed stitch,

with border that ties it together.

Someday I want to make one like this.

My blanket is really patterned

after this one.

Here is the other blanket of my Oma's I have

so cozy on my white chair;

Cleo loves both of these...

I am making progress on my blanket

and now have the pattern of colours repeating...

I am very pleased with how it is going...

A little hard to tell, but the third red that is being knitted

is the same as the first, below the middle brighter red.

I am still thinking of how I will make the border...
