Baby Blanket in progress. |
I just finished a super soft and cozy baby blanket. This is the first time I've made one like this with a boarder. It turned out WAY better than the first baby blanket I tried to knit about 8 years ago. The first ever baby blanket I made was for my husbands cousin who was having a baby girl. I wanted to make her a blanket as a congratulations on your new baby. I was so excited to get started on knitting my first ever baby blanket. I used a super soft baby yarn and started knitting away. Well, needless to say I was not so excited about the end result. LOL It was more of a rhombus shape or a squished rectangle. When I got a request to make a baby blanket my memories of this first blanket came rushing back to me. I've since made many successful blankets, but you never forget where you started as a knitter.

Finished Blanket |
I got the special order request on Monday of this week from a co-worker at my day job and she said the baby is already born, so she was wondering if I had one already made. No, I did not have one made, but I am always up for a challenge. I offered to make her one and told her I would try to get it to her as soon as I could. I decided to use a chunky yarn with bigger needles for a faster knit up and a thick cozy finish. This turned out to be a great blanket. Perfect to throw on the floor and let your baby play on top, or snuggle them cocoon style for those chilly days. I was able to spend just about every waking minute I was not at my day job working on this blanket and successfully finished it in just 5 days! I had so much fun knitting this one I already bought some yarn for a boy color one. I will be posting on Etsy when I get it finished. Likely not in five days though. I have other orders to fill first.
