As I posted earlier, my daughter had asked me to make a blanket for a friend of hers who is having a baby. I have tons of books with baby blanket patterns. I settled on this one below:
My latest project
I love the double row of ruffles for the edging on this particular pattern.
I keep all of my yarn stored in a 32 gallon plastic tote, which at this point is pretty full! Whenever I’m finished with a project I put my extra yarn in there. Thankfully I had enough leftovers to do this blanket. I chose a dusty rose color for the afghan body and the larger ruffle. I’ll be using an off-white for the smaller ruffle.
I started working on the baby blanket a few weeks ago while we were driving out of town. I’ve worked on it a few evenings since then, but I need to put some more work into it.
The baby isn’t due until the middle of September, but my daughter said they had to deliver the baby early because of complications. She was born almost three months premature and weight 1.5 lbs! Needless to say she’ll be in the NICU for a while, but she’s doing well.
Still, I’d better get to working on it! As I make more progress, I’ll post pictures of the baby blanket.
