I started on this awhile ago and without any real idea of how long it would take to knit, but I'm finally finished knitting my first baby blanket!It's for one of my dear friends (a professor of mine from college who I've become close with) who had her baby in February. Sure, I would've liked to have the blanket done for his big debut, but like I said... I had no clear idea of what it would take to knit a crib-sized blanket.
I love it. The blanket is soft, snugly knit, and very textured. There's a seed-stich border and the knit/purl combo in the pattern I used makes knitted squares separated by lines of purls for a nice grid look.
The yarn is machine washable--very baby- and user-friendly thanks to soft knit acrylic and wool Plymouth Yarn.
I'm so excited to give my blanket to my friend for her sweet little one!
I'll be adding the blanket to my Knitting tab (at the top of my blog) as my latest accomplishment. :)
That is a super impressive blanket. I know how to knit, but I don't have the patience to finish anything more than a scarf. And even that doesn't always happen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Madison! This took me forever... and I usually don't have patience for much more than scarves either. When the length of a row is something "hundred," I get discouraged quickly because even doing just one *row* is a lot of work!
