Finished Object: Willy's Blanket

Pattern: Cery's Baby blanket by Leah J. Williams
Free pattern online.
Yarn: Knit Picks Swish Bulky in colors Planetarium (blue) and Storm (grey) 3 hanks of each. I used all of the blue and 2.5 hanks of the storm.
Needles: Size 9

starts from the middle and you increase your way out.
It was fun to make and the 2x2 striping kept it interesting.

Leah gives great instructions on how to change this up to make it more girly with a picot edge vs just a fold over edge that I did.

I love it.
It's thick and squishy and just heavy enough to make you feel safe and secure. Plus it works as a great lap blanket for an adult.

I hope he loves it as much as I do!

Happy Monday
Carmel

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
