Snuggly and Warm

To all the knitters out there, have you ever found yourself relaxing on the lounge or in a comfy recliner knitting away only to find the T.V program you were watching has suddenly ended and you are part way through a new program? I have to admit, I have that problem too, whenever knitting I end up having 'Nanna Naps' especially when knitting a blanket, the one that has sent me to sleep the most lately has been a large blanket I've been working on out of Pom-Pom wool, mostly as it is so soft and warm.

I've made a knee rug or two out of this deliciously warm Pom-Pom wool and thought to make a blanket large enough to cover a queen size bed. As there are certainly no needles out there long enough to knit the blanket all in one piece, I've been enjoying falling asleep while knitting strips to later stitch together to make the blanket. Unfortunately there wasn't enough of the good quality Pom-Pom wool, so cheaper and smaller balls of wool are being used at the top and bottom, hopefully it will still turn out well.
