In an effort to document all of my work I want to feature today a baby blanket I recently made. It is from Debbie Stoller's "Stitch N' Bitch" book and is called "big bad baby blanket" the designer is Lisa Shobhana Mason. I made it in JoJoLand Bloom. It is a gorgeous textured yarn made of 59% wool and 41% cotton. It it really soft and cozy. I love the detail on the blanket. The pic to the left is the center of the blanket. There you can see where stockinette stitches intersect. It was made with 2 yarns held together for a nice plush feel. The edges are in seed stitch which is a nice contrast to the stockinette.
It was my first venture into knitting beyond a scarf which was a little intimidating but I found it to be a quick and easy knit. I was sad for it to end because it was so much fun.
I have to admit I did alot of back tracking with this one. I wanted it to be absolutely perfect as it will belong to my new grand child that is due in July07. The kids gotta get busy making more babies so I will have more blankie's to knit -
