I started this baby blanket before Josephine was born and I'm hoping to finish it in the next month or two. I'm obviously not a fast knitter but I really enjoy knitting. I'm using Baby Cocoon yarn which is 70% Australian merino wool and 30% nylon and is gloriously soft. I've decided to make the blanket bigger than the pattern calls for as I thought it was be more useable then. Of course the downside of that is that it is taking me longer to knit so she may be too big for by the time I finish.
Isabel put in an order for her own blanket when I started this one although she wants her in pink. I'm not sure I could bear knitting in pink but we'll see...
When I started planning this project I realised that I needed really long needles and found this pair at an op shop for $1. I am inordinately pleased with that.
