Knitting News!

This homespun baby blanket was a joint-effort, prepared with love by me and my fabulous friend, Carol. What is SO impressive, is that Carol had never knit a stitch prior to this project. We are both pleased and hope that baby Reese (when she decides to arrive) enjoys our homespun blanket of hugs as much as we enjoyed knitting it and thinking of her!

I will say, that while the pattern is very simple, if it is your very first knitting project, you might want to choose a yarn that splits a little less. I love homespun, I love the look of the results, but at times it can be "trying" to work with. We made this blanket in two weeks time with very busy schedules, if that information helps you at all. We were egged on, of course, by frequent questions by Chase sounding something like, "Do you think you can really finish this before the baby is born?" =) Yep, we did! Blanket delivered 4/22/20007!
