Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Since I last blogged, I finished the Tweed Baby Blanket by Jared Flood.  I apologize to those of you who checked back in the last 4 months expecting to see the finished product.  I managed to finish it during the final week of my summer vacation.  If I hadn't finished it, I don't think I ever would have.  I enjoyed working on the blanket.  The middle garter stitch panel was great for TV knitting and the feather and fan border was easy to memorize.  I used Knitpicks City Tweed DK, the original yarn called for in the pattern before it was changed to Shelter.  When the knitting was complete, I soaked the blanket in woolwash then pinned it out on the blocking board.  I ended up using two blocking boards.  Once dry, the blanket was a nice big size.  Unfortunately, I was so quick to photograph and gift it that I didn't take any final measurements.

Here are a few pictures of it:

Over the past few weeks, I've seemed to get into the groove with my knitting.  I've started new projects and finished old ones, which I hope to share with you in the coming weeks. I wish you all the best for the new year.  

Happy Knitting!  ♥
