Baby Blanket for MY Baby!

I never thought I would be writing those words!

This is the softest combination of yarns. I had six skeins of the "Wild" that I didn't know what to do with, so this was a great way to use them to soften up the Pound of Love.

METHOD:
Used LionBrand Pound of Love and Moda Dea Wild, using size 15 needles and the pattern "Henry's Fuzzy Wuzzy Baby Blanket" from Ravelry.

The whole thing is just garter stitch, using the two yarns together, and since it's easy, I plan on toting it everywhere, to finish the blanket on time. It's going to be pretty big, to use up as much yarn and to snuggle as much as possible.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. I ended up using almost all four balls and it made for a great size. Kind of lapghan size.
2. This thing is HOT. I think the nylon seals the heat in. It's also pretty heavy, too heavy to be left in the crib, but it might be a good snuggle blanket for the toddler years. I'm leaving it over the edge of the bed as a decoration now, but I can imagine snuggling under it in winter!

Baby Blanket for Morgan

The best laid plans... I originally intended to give this to Morgan for her baby shower, but I didn't get it finished in time, so I gave it to her for Christmas. I'm going to call this a Christmas finish, since I didn't write down the actual completion date.

METHOD:
The yarn is called Heaven (and it's oh so heavenly soft) made by Plymouth and I picked it up on sale at KnitWitts. It's done on size 15 needles because the yarn is so fat. The pattern was a free pattern by Plymouth, but it's garter stitch and nothing fancy.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. Those huge needles HURT! I don't care for that size.
2. Take a picture of stuff before you give it away! This is the sample photo from the pattern, but the actual looks exactly like it.
