I‘m new enough to knitting that I don’t know what tools and materials I like yet, so I have resigned to using bobby pins and small ponytail holders as stitch markers. So in case you’re cheap like me frugal, or in a pinch, you can use either of those.
I just finished My Antonia by Willa Cather. Suggestions for what to read next are welcome.
I picked up a crochet hook about four years ago and figured out just enough to make baby blankets and get myself into trouble because I have a habit of not wanting to follow patterns. I made my Goddaughter’s baptism blanket using this pattern. Except, I decided I wanted to use yarn instead of the recommended thread which required me to change all of the numbers in the pattern. Then I realized that I measured wrong and made the blanket too big because I did not account for the border. I think it turned out beautiful anyway and my Goddaughter was beautiful in it.
I’m linking up with Ginny at Small Things for her weekly Yarn Along. My Antonia was her recommendation.
It is lovely, nonetheless, and I don’t think anyone complains if a baby blanket is a little too big.
I agree, its just lovely.
Size with a blanket is not so important.
