So that never ending scarf for Samantha, Bonny's daughter, is finally done! And I've started searching my stash for yarn for my first knitted baby blanket. I got out my stitch pattern book, and found a few stitches I'd like to try making it in. The one I started with uses two different size needles, I'm using US 9 and US 17. I've got the bottom border done, and a few rows of the body of the blanket.
I wanted to knit a blanket, because they are lighter weight than crocheted blankets. Besides, I already have a plethora of crocheted blankets. I've never knitted one. This way, no matter what season a baby is born in, there will be appropriate weight blankets waiting for him/her. I also want to knit the E.Z. surprise baby sweater, which I'm pretty sure I mentioned before. I need to search my stash to see if I have eough of a good yarn for that. In all the photos I've seen, it's shown in stripes, but I want to make it a solid color.
And that's all I have for today! Scarf finished, and blanket started! I promise, I will get around to finishing up all those WIPs in my bag....
