I've been remiss lately when it comes to my crafting. It took me months to knit a scarf for my mother that should have taken at most a couple weeks. Last weekend I finally sat down to look at the crazy collection of yarn that's been living under my bed. Just because I organized it in baskets didn't change the fact that it had become a mess of a collection. So I got myself together and made the matching hat for my mother - for whatever good it will do her now that it's spring and routinely 70+ degrees. But there was tons of yarn left, and I had no clue what to make. Thankfully, my coworker has the most perfect timing. She asked me to make a baby blanket and even gave me a due date! There's nothing better than an immovable deadline to remind me that I cannot keep giving up on projects.
Here's the yarn she selected: Bernat Softee Baby in Pink and Lemon
I'm trying front-post double crochet for the first time on a large project. I did it with the hat last week, and though it went well, a hat is much smaller and quite a bit more forgiving. So far, I think this
pattern is fabulous. I've made a couple adjustments, like keeping 8 FPDC stitches in the second stripe's squares for symmetry's sake, but overall it's been any easy pattern to follow. Can't wait to see the final product. Here's the blanket so far:
