Little Blue...

The sister has a lovely friend who is expecting a little boy. Since the sister does not knit or crochet she asked if I could hook a blanket for her friend.

Of course I would. I used this pattern, which is my go-to for baby blankets. The sister selected the colors and I ran them through the random stripe generator.

It is not often that I work with washable yarn, so when this blanket came out of the dryer all soft and squishy, I almost wanted to keep it for myself.

A nice quick project to add to my FOs. While I love to crochet, I enjoy the knitting process more. That means I must stay away from Chawne's blog, because everytime I visit I want to hook on something else.  

I will leave you will some loves and wish you all a great week!

• This time of year it is great to see the transition  into Spring colors.There are some serious beauties here.  
• Would love to have this shirt to stop people from asking if I am seeing anyone.
• My friend Marion knit up a lovely stripey hat, makes me have grabby hands.
• ButterflyBush Yarns has added some new sock yarn and stitchmarkers to the Etsy shop!

I hope you find your last Centurion - it's an amazing feeling when you do. Your blanket is absolutely adorable and I'm not normally a fan of the palette that you had there but it all works perfectly.

I totally agree with you about the washable yarn- I made a blanket out of Caron Simply Soft and I still love it, never mind that it's growing some wholes!

A random stripe generator? That is so cool. How did you even find something like that?

[lindy bonnin]

That really is a beautiful blanket. You are very talented and you have a very big heart to do that for your sister.

[Stefani]

Love the baby ripple. Those colors are so pretty together. I love how you added the edging. It really does bring it all together.

[angela]

What yarn did you used? So beautiful and colors are perfect.

The baby blanket is so pretty!! What a lucky baby to be wrapped up in such squishy, lovely softness. Your sister is very fortunate to have someone like you to call on for handmade goodness.

[Jody]

Love the blanket! The ripple is such a great way to add simple movement. And (not so surprisingly for us) I knit a blanket out of very similar colors for my nephew 5 years ago.

[Monica]

Gorgeous blanket. So calmly and beautiful.

Random stripe generator? Another first for me thanks to your blog. Thanks for sharing Andi! Have a great week.

[Kat]

Beautiful colors :) I love the border and would love to know how to do it on my ripple blanket I am making.

[Stacy]

Will you share, what yarn you used, and information on the border pattern if you have it? Thanks so much, the blanket is beautiful.

Hi! I love the blanket you've made.. my sister is expecting a baby boy any day now, and I'd like to make her a blanket similar to this one- I really like the edging you've put on there, how was it made? I'm still amateur so it looks to me like 2 slst, ch 3, slst in next ch then another slst...

[Hippoplatypus]

Also- what size hook did you use? Thanks (:
