Baby Blanket Bleuz


I am so ready to be done with this baby blanket! I started it in March and have knitted on it off and on. It is a pattern that I need to focus on or I end up off a few stitches. With a near 2 year old toddler, time is limited. I have one more pattern repeat and then I'm done. Woo-hoo! I'm doing to Bunny Hop Diamond Stitch Baby Blanket listed on Straw.com.

When I finish this one, my reward is doing a Teresa Wentzler cross stitch with a coworker of mine. We are going to do Stretch the dragon.

It will be my first Teresa Wentzler pattern and my coworker's 5th. I figure she'll be able to provide me with any help I need. Haven't decided on the count of fabric yet. I'm leaning toward 22 ct but I may do 18 ct. The designer did it on 18 and that might be easier for me. We shall see!



In the mean time, I will probably go back to work on my Black Water Abbey cabled cardigan sweater (Kerry). I'm working on the back still. Here's a picture of what the end result SHOULD look like...



The color I'm using is mountain. (Kind of a dark lavender color.) I started the pattern in a class taught by Marilyn from Black Water Abbey Yarns last fall and kind of got spirited away from finishing it due to numerous births at work. I'll post picture updates later. It is almost midnight and I've got to sleep...(what's that?)
