Sometimes you get pulled into knitting things for people. Usually I can resist, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the folks at my knitting circle. They are so nice, and mean so well... and well they're really persistent.
Here's how the conversation went:
Her: "Oh I'd like to knit my new great grand-daughter a baby blanket. Do you have a pattern for that?"
Me: "Sure! Here's a really easy one!"
Her: "Oh lovely! Here are the needles and yarn! Can you start it for me?"
Me: "Ok! It's a really easy pattern."
Next week
"Oh, this is so tough, my hands just aren't the way they were when I was younger. Can you show me again?"
"Sure!"
Next week
"Hey, I noticed you haven't really worked on your baby blanket. Everything ok?"
"Oh, it's just your work looks so much better than mine! Can you work on it today?"
"Sure!"
Next week
"Again? Listen, is it ok if I take this home and work on it?"
And now I have this pretty thing. Made with Red Heart! Hopefully the new owner likes it.

Thanks Aashi.
DeleteI've been thinking about starting a community blanket of sorts, for my son. Everyone could work on a few rows here or there, or make a square and I could sew all the squares together. I haven't decided yet but I need to before my baby shower lol
ReplyDeleteIf you go the square route, get someone else to sew them together! That's such a pain :( Unless you like sewing squares, in which case, email me your address and I will send you one! :)
DeleteYour blanket is beautiful, and Red Heart is a great choice. Machine washable for babies!
ReplyDeleteI usually shy away from Red Heart, but this yarn was nice and soft because I washed it, and you can't beat acrylic for babies :)
