Almost done!

Since I couldn't help but start another project, it's only fair that I show you my progress. This has to be one of the more simple patterns that I've done. I love the way that the yarn feels. I'm a cotton ease floozy what can I say! Definately the best yarn for making baby blankets. I promise to go back to my mitered blanket and the cable blanket as soon as I finish this one. Did I mention that I do not know how to crochet the pieces of this blanket together! Ha! I will be taking this over to Article Pract in Oakland for some help. I'm currently on the fourth and last piece to this blanket. I wanted to try it in a smaller size to make sure i would make the larger one. Anyone who needs some mindless knitting - this is definately the pattern for that - it's all garter stitch!

I just couldn't help it!

I couldn't help it! I started the blanket last night when I caught a bit of insomnia. It's called the Knitted Garter Stitch Blanket in Sheeps Down by Elizabeth Zimmerman - but can be seen here more recently knit by BrooklynTweed. What can I say - the bubble gum pink cables had me bored. I will get back to it - but just the sheer joy of knitting without counting almost sent me over the edge. I will get back to the pink cables this weekend - but I needed a small break. Here is the first section that I did last night. I'm using cotton ease in Lime doubled to make this blanket. I'm a fan of it's squooshiness and ease of use for parents.
