The blanket is done! The blanket is done!!!

Started last August, the blanket I knitted for my friend in superwash baby wool (so you can wash and tumble dry it) turned out great! It's in a robin's egg blue and lavendar (she doesn't know the sex of the baby).

I knitted it on circular needles (size 6) in a stockinette stitch (you knit both sides) which was perfect for bringing it along to the kids' activities. If I were to do it again, I'd probably use slightly larger needles (8 or 10) to get more of a striped effect in the stockinette, but this turned out fine).

Now, it was actually a pretty fast knit for a blanket...I had to take a break from it in October to make my daughter's competition costume.

As a last touch, after casting off, I went back and crocheted a little border around it (3 chains, and then a single into the blanket). Tada!! Big accomplishment for me...starter of many projects, completer of few.
