Back to knitting!

I’m working away on a baby blanket. The Shower is Saturday, and it will NOT be done by then. The baby isn’t due until end of May; so I’m not going to stress about it until it’s actually May. This is the blanket I’ve started a bunch of times and couldn’t find a stitch pattern that I liked. I finally gave up and am doing a pattern out of a book.
Being the cantankerous knitter that I am, I cannot possibly follow the pattern as written. On this one I added an extra pattern repeat to make it slightly wider than specified in the pattern. I’ll knit until I get tired of it and I think it’s long enough. The pattern comes from Vogue Knitting on the Go, Baby Blankets (or Baby Blankets 2. not sure which one). It actually calls for fingering weight yarn - so I didn’t really have to do much else to it. Of course I’m not using the yarn called for (which I think was Dale’s Baby Ull), but there you go. It’s a simple enough pattern that is over 4 rows; and very easily memorized. It’s now my carry along knitting.

It looks great and is coming along very nicely.
