The saga of the baby blanket
So, I wanted to make this baby blanket see, but I chose a MC that required small needles and lots of time. . .time is not on my side. The recipient is due like NOW. As you can see, I have not gotten very far:
Now, I am verklempt at this point. How can I possibly get this done like, right away? Should I take a day or two off just to get it done? Should I just snap a picture and put it in a card explaining that I will mail it to her so that she can get this after the fact? What is a girl to do?
Buy more yarn of course!
So I went to one of the LYS in my area and picked up 4 balls of "heaven" by Plymouth Yarns. It is fabulous! My knitting. . .well maybe not so fabulous. I am in a rush people. . .give a sista a break. Here is my progress:
I just hope my co-worker is not as observant or picky when she receives it. I will post the completed blanket when I'm done (which better be Sunday) Oh--she says it's a boy, so man wouldn't it be a trip if it isn't?

girls can get blue blankets. it's just a bit trickier to convince the parents of boys to accept the pink blankets. it's gorgeous. very lucky baby to have a knit blankie from you :)
