My friend Regan had a baby! I made her a baby blanket with this gigantic yarn I found, it required the largest knitting needles I’ve used before. Niko likes grabbing the thick yarn and threading his arms through the loops!
My cousin Juli had a baby! I knitted a baby blanket for her, my first time making a blanket. I experimented with alternating knit and purl stitches in chunks to make a checkerboard pattern. It ended up not being very square, because my stitches got tighter at the end when I was worried about running out of yarn. Regardless, it is soft and cuddly which is what matters for a baby blanket. It was so fun knitting with gigantic yarn.
I’ve spent the last few weeks learning how to knit, and just finished my first project! I love leg warmers for going to the gym, wearing before and after dances, and keeping cozy around the house. These have a spiral pattern and turned out so cute!
