The Tweed Baby Blankie is finally finished! After getting past the boring garter stitch knitting of the central square, the edging went pretty quickly, and I am just so pleased with how it turned out.
These colors are a bit of a departure for me, as I usually fancy bright, clear colors, but I wanted to challenge myself to make something a little more subtle. Plus, tweedy yarn for a baby is a little unexpected and can grow up with the child, I think. It's a great size for an older child's lap blanket.
It is now ready and waiting for our new little boy or girl!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, perhaps I'll make some progress on my Anthro sweater!
It's beautiful! You must be so pleased to have it all ready for your new arrival!! Is the edging knitted or crochet-ed? It's so pretty!!

What a lovely blanket, I'm sure it will be around for a long time. It looks so soft and cuddly. It's such a good feeling to finish something and feel happy about the results. I have a half finished jumper just waiting for me to pick up the needles again, but am experiencing knitter block.....why is it???
