  1. Hi, you are utterly brilliant. I am attempting a practice peace of your Lilly blanket (before I start the real thing); two colour plain to start, then a four square one with the two colour work to make sure I don’t muck up the real thing. I’m a beginner, I can knit like a pro, but have taught myself with your Lilly blanket to crochet.
    So thank you. Samantha. X
