In keeping with the theme

of startitis, I bring to you my improvised baby blanket!

( pictures! )

I note now that I should have added a couple of extra rows to the long border, as 5 stitches is clearly thicker than 5 rows. But I didn't realize at the time, so it's just going to have to have a wider border at the sides than on the ends. *shrug*

When I'm done, I want to write up a pattern for it. I think it's going to be very, very nice. :D The yarn is Bernat Softee Baby in "Baby Denim Marle" and it's sooooooooooo soft. It's an absolute joy to knit with.

My Project in Progress from Knit a Fantasy Story

[patelyne]

I've just started a big project. Actually a HUGE project.
I'm going to be making two of the Knitted Farmyard playsets from Knit a Fantasy Story by Jan Messent.

Since it'll involve knitting, crochet, embroidery, and latch hook (plus who knows how many other things by the time I'm done) I thought it might be of interest to the group.

My first post on the project is here on DW, and I'll also be making progress posts here and under the KaFS tag on my new craft blog.

For a sneak peek, here is the pattern picture



and here is what I've done with it so far



Either link will take you to more pictures and better descriptions of what I'm going to be doing.

Please check it out!
