It’s the largest thing I’ve EVER knitted! A pretty green knitted blankie that is about 24″ x 30″ in this super soft baby yarn. It was fun to do, took a while… almost 2 months of evening knitting for me, but still, it’s cute as heck. I was thinking it would be a nice little stroller blanket for chilly evenings or fall, or maybe a comfy little car seat tuck-in for cool weather. Something that isn’t huge, but a nice size. I hope! It’s a gift for a friend and his wife and their soon to arrive this summer baby!
I’m just getting much better at this whole knitting thing! First washcloths, then socks and now, my first blanket! How cool! I was looking at sweaters but they scare me a whole lot. I’m not sure that I can accomplish something like that. Following a pattern is not my forte. I have a pair of socks that I’m working on in a thin weight yarn, those are next and I’ve had a few requests from the girls for socks as well. I’ll probably stick to that for awhile. I do have a crazy square crocheted afghan I’m about half done with… I believe I’ll finish that after this pair of socks. I like to have something easy and relaxing to work on in the evenings, watching a little netflix on the computer. (Love that! What a deal…..)

That’s a very nice blanket! I’m going to be moving onto socks as well. I was thinking about taking a knitting class that is making socks. It’s two hours long with eight classes. I don’t think I’ll be able to knit for two hours straight. Besides other people in the class will be finishing up their sweaters that they made in the fall knitting class. Seems like the teacher bit of more than she could chew.
Great job, what a nice gift, I love the color too.
Since we don’t know if it’s going to be a girl or a boy, I thought a nice fun trendy green would be nice. Kind of gender neutral! I hope they like it. I have a little yarn left and I might make a little hat too!
