K2 Blanket

Oh man. I have had to restart this blanket so many times. And then they discontinued one of the colours that we finally decided on. I was ready to cry, but the teen just shrugged. A new shade of pink doesn't matter to her. As she decided, it will make a good story to tell people when she displays the blanket. And even after all this, it's still only up to my thigh. ~sigh~

Eldest's Blanket

So I finally got done with the eldest's blanket that I had promised to knit her. It turned out wonderfully. I used the lace and fans pattern. The blanket was supposed to be about four feet long, but I extended that since the pattern was for a baby blanket. But she needs something a little longer.

So I knitted on it until I felt it was the right length for her. I honestly could have done more, but she was getting rather impatient for it. And with my promise to knit a blanket for her boyfriend before he graduates next year, I kind of wanted to get a move on with that one. So here's the result.

And I was very happy, that when I was looking for needles to complete her sweater, I happened upon a great little convenience. I don't know how I managed without it for so long. But I absolutely adore my Norwegian knitting thimble. Makes it all go so much faster!
