I spent last year knitting Debbie Abrahams’ glorious Mystery Blanket for 2025, ‘The Seashore’ (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/patgsmith/mystery-blanket-2025). Inspired by her design process, the many techniques used in her blanket squares and the ways she uses them to express the world, I have a wild plan to spend the next year or so working towards a blanket that celebrates Dulwich Road in Herne Hill, south London.

I’m a total novice at this so in the course of discovery there will no doubt be a host of weird and embarrassing errors. But I will record early blanket planning and then the steps along the way to designing and executing (or failing to execute) each representational square.

This is a hostage to fortune, but let’s see what happens.
