Secret Blankie for F-U-R-B-A-L-L-S

Secret Blankie for F-U-R-B-A-L-L-S is a project I did a year back together with Furballs' Leafy Blankie.  I love both of them.  The former is more upbeat while the latter is cozy and calm

Furballs' Leafy Blankie was published in 2021 with the all twelve (12) different blocks in one (1) pattern knitted with three (3) blocks across the row at any one time.  The So it is totally seamless and in two (2) strings with minimal four (4) end tails to weave in.  The inspiration is from the forest floor (and yes, for city furballs, it will be the backyard).  Different leaves in various shapes and styles are featured with the square swirling mimicking the reflection from the water puddle on forest floor

A different approach is used in Secret Blankie for F-U-R-B-A-L-L-S.  It is knitted block by block and sew / knit / crochet them together (do whatever it takes lol) and a non - sewing version might be added in later depending on my time.  Each block represents a month in a year and featuring an associated motif

The first one goes with winter and January Snowflake / 一月漂雪飛花 is a good motify for the blankie.  Using long floats management in mosiac knitting, it is possible to draw up this design with long horizontal row

Late January to early February is usually when the Chinese New Year falls into, so we have the February Gold fish / 二月魚躍龍門 as motif.  Picture a little carp swimming against the current in a river and finally jumping over a high gate.  Yes it is like the Salmon in the wild.  For more fish and related knit pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

Nothing much happening in March, so furballs really need some March Catnip / 三月薄荷漂香 to brighten up the day.  For more leaf and releated knit pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

Easter does float between March and April, and we have April Easter Egg / 四月復活彩蛋for the month of April. For more Easter egg and related knit pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

After the exciting April with the Easter egg hunt, it is now to calm down chewing on the May Stinky Sock.  For more sock and sock releated knit pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

June Summer Leaf is finally here with hot weather and green leaves.  For more leaf and leaf related pattern, please check out here on Raverly

When it becomes too hat, rain will pour and July Umbrella is here for the unpredictable weather

August Cat month is the most celebrated festivity in our household.  For more furball and furballs releated pattern, please check out here on Raverly

September Cat Paw is more recalling the Labour Day.  For more cat paw and cat paw related pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

Halloween in October for furballs is playing with October Hanging Spider

We choose US Thanksgiving for the month of November and knit up a "Art Deco" style November Turkey

By the last month in the year, Furballs' nemesis, December Holiday Tree, makes up the last block in the Blankie.  For more tree and related knit pattern, please check out here on Ravelry

Hope I will be able to publish one pattern each month in 2023.  Meow Meow until next time
