I started this project aeons back when Sunshine was still scrawny and still fit into the teeny infant sized diapers. And then I grew bored of it.
Check out THIS POST from my humble knittery beginnings!
Well it’s done now…
Name of project: Chubbs’ Basketweave Baby Blanket
Yarn: Patons UK 100% Cotton DK
Needles: Knit picks 3.75mm (after hibernation). Birch Circulars 3.75mm (before hibernation)
Cast on date: September or October-ish 2007
Cast off date: 01 March 2009 (After light years of hibernation)
Learned: Hmm… not to hibernate so long that your next child comes along!
Modifications: None.
Mistakes: None. Except for the time when I put the blanket down for awhile and my mum thought to help me with it. Picked it up and knitted it THE WRONG WAY. So she had to tink back 5 rows. -___-
It’s going to be hand washed and then packed into the hospital bag in preparation for Chubbs’ arrival.
Since this was my ‘car and movie project’, I’ve cast on Cobblestone pullover to replace it. (Easy knit in the round and round and round stockinette st.)
I’ve also cast off the main part of Chubbs’ Peace Sweater. I’ve even seamed it all up and woven the ends in! I just have to get my butt into knitting the i-cord for the neckline and we’re done.
Told ya I’ve been knitting diligently!
