Any woollen item that enters our house is promptly met with Poppy screams of “I am NOT wearing it – it is itchy!!!!” but she was so happy to snuggle into the ripple blanket while I was making it that she begged for her own. As luck would have it the wool went on sale 40% off. We went into Lincraft and she was given a VERY specific section (We don’t want to be crocheting with that horrid fluffy yarn or the pompom one!) to choose whatever colours she liked. It was so cute to see her feeling empowered to make any choice, so 14 rainbow coloured selections later this is what we ended up with and now she tells me her favourite colour is not pink – it is rainbow – yippee! She did ask though if it would be ready the next morning …..

Yo9u can whip one up over night can't you mummy? ;-)
I finished a knitted dress this weekend and waited for that rejection.... Phew! SHE LIKED IT!
I hope Poppy spends lots of cuddly time under her new blanket. Great colours!
Surely it only takes one night on the couch to whip up a rippled blankie?
I am with Poppy.... I do not like eeeetchy either! My mum once bought me a really expensive woolen Laura Ashley jumper when I was little and I cut it up with scissors so I wouldn't have to wear it - tears on both sides for weeks...
I was the same as poppy as a child. my gran use to make me the most beautiful ( now I look back) jumpersadn I never wore them becaue they were itchy. lucky Poppy has such a good mum to find some non itchy wool!
I have to do the same at Lincrasft, no feathers, popcorn, fluffy are anything other than 'wool'!
