Well, Kind of...I brought one of those new Addi Express tube knitters. Some people call them sock knitters. It also does 18 stitch wide straight knitting. White it wasn't the answer to my prayers (a small, light, portable and easy to use knitting machine that can be adjusted) it's amazing what you can do with a simple tubel format and in just a few minutes!

12 different coloured tubes.
Here are my 12 different coloured tubes with alternating light and dark grey


This project was a small pram or stroller blanket.  I used alternating light and dark shades of gray with varying colourbusrsts in the centre.

Sewing the tubes together.
I arragned the tubes alongside eachother and sewed them up.

I then stitched them up to make a blanket.
