A Finished Object!
I finished the baby blanket, and even though I was busy patting myself on the back for completing it well before the baby is due in October, I still found time to try and take a few photos. I'm not thrilled with the clothesline shadow across the middle of this one, but it does show the pattern and color.
Photos taken indoors with Snuggle and Son looked a bit washed out, but cuteness made me keep one.
In desperation, I finally threw the blanket down, hoping the contrast with the ivy would work. I was underwhelmed.
Despite lack of lovely documentation, the blanket is done, washed, wrapped, and ready to mail to my nephew and the baby's mother in New Mexico. Thanks to Patty for knitting her ECN Blanket so I could copy it and Kat for providing the impetus to get me knitting with her AKK Summer Knit-Along. There is a Hitchhiker in progress, and so the tiniest possibility of a second FO this week exists. No promises, but stay tuned!
Ravelry details here.
What in the WORLD is the wine voucher??? Hilarious (from the Ravelry photos of the yarn)! The blanket is lovely...but I really liked the more orange-looking version from the clothesline.
ReplyDeleteFor some odd and hilarious reason, Webs has included the wine voucher with my most recent orders. I haven't used them, but they are a bit tempting ...
DeleteThe first photo is fabulous!! The ECN blanket and the dynamic color are beautiful! Any baby will be very happy, cozy, and will feel the love in each and every stitch! Marvelous job, Bonny!
ReplyDeleteI love the clothesline shot. I think it is fantastic, shadows and all! It is a beautiful gift, and I am certain that all those stitches hold amazing stories as well as so much love to wrap that new baby in!
