In keeping with the theme

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



This is the main part of the pattern itself - as you can see, it's a 5x5 basket weave stitch


And here is the corner, so you can see the border.


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.

I'm making a baby blanket out of Bernat Softee Baby, too! It is, er, hibernating because I got to the point where the rows were really long and I was feeling rather discouraged because it was taking forever to where I got to do the decreases. (I'm knitting it diagonally.) But maybe I will work on it some more later. After the socks, maybe...

Good job!
