I guess that's the point.
As we all probably do, I have many knitting rules. Here are few:
I don't knit with acrylic.
I don't knit blankets.
I don't do fancy borders.
Below, a just-finished blanket with ruffles. I knit it in about a week. It's made of Lyon Brand Jiffy. 100% acrylic.
It's for David's Mom, who's having some serious medical issues.
She needs something that will keep her warm. And something that can be put in the washer and dryer.
And something soft.
And something she can wear as a shawl.
Something that can stay at home or travel in the car and to doctors' appointments.
Something that brings comfort.
And something that's pretty but not precious.
So, rules are great to live by. But sometimes we make exceptions.
