Back to Knitting - A Knit Blanket
Christmas was a busy time for my poor wrists - I just love to make gifts for people instead of buying them, so I was mighty busy. My biggest undertaking was certainly the blanket for my mom. I had wanted to make her one for a long time and decided Christmas was the right time. I used one of those simple quick-knit afghan pattern books from Michaels, and was very happy with the results. It was made on size 13 circular needles, using 2 strands of the new Simply Soft Heathers in Deep Plum.
The color doesn’t show very accurately in the photo, but it is a beautiful deep purple color. Below is a close up of the detail. It was a total hit. (= Blankets are a lot of work, but surely worth the effort.
