I started on this blanket the second week of October. I was working on it like mad, and was totally in a groove. Then November hit. I got super busy with other projects, and just didn't have a ton of time to knit. I wanted to get the blanket done before Charlie arrived, which is why I started on it in October. Well, December arrived and the blanket still wasn't done! I started working on it more, determined to finish it. I still had a load of other things I was doing. December is sort of a blurry. It was just a crazy busy month! On Christmas Eve, I had about 10 more rows to do before I finished, so I made myself sit and knit til it was DONE. I'm glad I did because I love that it is finished and Charlie sleeps with it every night (cause I wrap him up in it- maybe someday he'll choose to sleep with it?!) This is my first BIG knitting project, and also the biggest thing I've made out of yarn. It's cool to think that I fabricated this blanket one stitch at a time! (It makes me feel like a super hero or something :) Someday I'll knit really fast like my sister, I don't know how she does it!
The pattern is free, and found HERE
The yarn is a wool/poly blend. It's yarn made to be made into blakets. I love it, so soft, lofty and cushy!
Charlie likes it too.... I think- he didn't exactly tell me :)
