Granny Square Fingerless Mitts - Mini Mother's Day series part 2

Hello everyone, it's time for part 2 of our mini Mother's Day pattern series and this week we have the mitts to match the boot cuffs we made in part 1. It's another granny square design (you know how I love granny squares) and they are quick and easy to make.

Iris Stitch Edging - Add this pretty Iris Stitch border to your blankets...

For those of you who know me well, you will know that making blankets is my most favourite thing and adding the border to a finished blanket is the best part of blanket making. Don't get me wrong I love the whole process. Choosing the design, colours, type of yarn, spending time all snuggly and warm with a growing blanket on your lap is pure bliss to me, but those final few rounds that add the finishing touch to your masterpiece, is just the cherry on the cake. I love that feeling of completion and achievement you get when you finish a blanket. As you know all through January we have been on a stash busting marathon, making a new granny square each day. Well, all the squares are finished and joined and it's now time for the border. I wanted something pretty but simple to go with all the floral themed squares. So I thought the Iris Stitch would make a wonderful edging to my finished blanket and of course I must also share this with you all... Useful Links...
