And there's more............

 
Lets take a closer look at some of the other blankets exhibited that weren't in Isabella's top 4, but certainly would have been if there was any way she could have juggled it!

 
Sarah Hill's lovely pink cot blanket whos textured hearts and delicate edging were admired by many.

 
Inspired by mulled wine & log fires this random patchwork blanket of Jo Barretts was soooo tactile. I spent half the afternoon stroking a furry pink square. (sorry Jo!)

 
Sue Rogers, Master Knitter!! created this gorgeous blanket the rest of us could only marvel at. It really had to be seen to appreciate the work that went into it. Sue must have been awake for many nights to finish this one.

 
How pretty is Chrissie Cole's baby blanket? Inspired by Spring and adorned with daisies, this blanket had many admirers on Sunday.

 
Holes where they are meant to be! Now that was a novelty - a real talking point for our visitors and a favourite with many. Designed and made by Trish Back and inspired by pebbles, this blanket had real movement & texture.

 
Our own Jane Richards tucked herself away in her lovely cottage and then produced this beautiful double bed sized crocheted throw - as if like magic! I know there were times when she was tearing her hair out trying to decide how to edge it, but the results prove it was all worth it.

 

At last!  Emily Kemp's gorgeous blanket in all it's finished glory! Our judge was very taken with the 'sweater style' textures & stitches of this one. Well worth staying up all night to finish Em.

 
Well, I couldn't set my lovely K&N ladies the challenge of making a jazzy blanket and not join in, could I? So here is my offering, inspired by a cottage garden.

I hope you have all enjoyed viewing our work. If you would like to join Knit & Natter, we meet every Tuesday & Thursday in Crafty Angel/Angels & Petals, Hatherleigh at 7.30pm. Our next exhibition will be in the spring. Look out for details, coming soon.
