Blanket Stitch and Monsters

We're having another Craft Party on Monday night and one of the things available to make will be Felt Mistress's Monster from Issue 7 of Mollie Makes. I made this one as an example for people to see. People always compliment me on how neat and intricate my amigurumi dolls are - and I guess they are! But when it comes to sewing and cutting material my ability to be neat and intricate just goes out the window! Straight lines are not my thing. I like how this guy turned out, but if you could see him in real life you would see how inaccurately I cut the shapes and how wonky my sewing is! And for those of you who are into sewing I have a question... How do you start off the first stitch when you are going to use blanket stitch? When I do it the first stitch always comes out wonky. Answers gratefully received!

my current wishlist...

Custom monkey with bow

a circus monkey by Dingogirl - she does them in lots of different colours but I'd like a pink one just like this.

Tippy loves public transport!

and a travel card holder by Felt Mistress. (I wouldn't mind Tippy as well but he's probably well out of my price range for now!)
