Block 1 of 12 of the Celebration Blanket by Ewe Ewe Yarns

Designed by Marsha Wenskay for Ewe Ewe Yarns

When I first met Heather she barely knew how to knit – I think she even knit her stitches backwards! In Block 1 of the Ewe Ewe Celebration Blanket, I used a flying geese stitch pattern to mimic Heather’s growth as a knitter. She started as a baby bird and just keeps flying up and up and up!
