If you have read my blog for a while you know that any time I work on a baby blanket, it is a Baby Blanket of Doom!!! Doom because it can take years and years to finish a pithy little blankie. This blankie was started in July of 2007 when I moved to Washington. It moved with me back to California, sat in my bag of half done nonsense for 2 years or more before I picked it back up and knit the second half.
This pattern is from Sarah Bradbury and is called “Psychadelic Squares Afghan”. You can find it on Ravelry or on her website.
All folded up and ready to go
The blanket is about 3′ x 3′ which I think is a good size for a baby blanket. I may gie this to Bill’s brother and sis-in-law who are expecting a wee girl in a while. I may not, I don’t know if it’s good enough to give to them. I have plenty of yarn left in both the colors above and coordinating colors, so there may be a sweater and some booties in order.
I would like to say that this will be the last blanket of doom, but we both know I’m lying. In super-awesome news, my sister sent me a sweet care package of yarn and old photographs of us back in our teens. Absolutely awesome. She has great taste in expensive yarn, so I will have an alpaca sweater before the end of the year. More on that to come.
Christmas break is over and I am glad for it. The holidays are stressful. So is work and I do get less sleep when I’m back at work, something about teaching makes me wake up at 4 am worried every day, but at least I’m not freaking out over family stuff.
The pup is fabulous, in case you were wondering.
