I completed Hansel AKA the giant bucket about 3 weeks ago. It was very odd knitting a square blanket in the round but it worked and I love the finished result. I had originally planned it as a baby blanket for my surprise third baby but it ended up as a gift for my friend Helen's surprise third baby instead. Although I'd decided on a relatively neutral colour scheme involving grey, purple, green and blue it dawned on me that it was far more appropriate for Helen's little boy baby than my own expected pink offspring.
I would have liked to have added the triangular border edging included in the pattern to finish it off but it became obvious that I was running out of time and yarn - Helen was booked for an elective c-section so I was working to a definite deadline!!
I absolutely loved knitting this and I am so tempted to make another for myself.
