On My Needles

I am experiencing a baby boom.

I thought it would be a good idea

 to make a baby blanket.

It's pretty...

but I'm sort of hating it.

I think it's tedious.

And heavy.

I'm committed though.

Here's the pattern:

Cast on 110 stitches.

K1P1 (seed stitch) for 6 rows.

K1, P1 for first 6 stitches of row 7, 

then knit until the last 6 stitches, ending with 6 seed stitches.

Next row: seed stitch 6 stitches, 

purl to the last 6 stitches, seed stitch.

A lovely seed stitch border

surrounds stripes of stockinette stitches.

Lovely.

But I am already tired of it.

 I also have this on waiting...

which I am EAGER to knit.

But as it is a holiday gift,

it must wait.

Babies come first.

Mr. needs a homemade baby gift

for a friend.

I bought this lovely yellow yarn,

originally for another blanket.

But I am wondering 

if it will be a 

baby sweater instead.

I'll keep you posted.
