Hi! This is my red ‘Nana Blanket’. My late nana made a couple of these but I’ve no idea how it was made. It almost looks like woven strands of finger knitting? She also made several knitted dolls and the finest knitted chevron blanket. I’d love to know how you think this was created!
I’d especially love to know so I can be extra careful when it needs washing. I only handwash it but think knowing how it was made will help me be more capable of washing and mending it.

My lemon tree leaves keep being eaten! I’ve tried white oil for ages and recently caterpillar spray but it’s still being eaten. Any ideas what’s eating it and how to prevent it?

Thanks!
