Knitting...2011

Making a baby blanket for my cousin's new baby...

Baby hasn't arrived as yet and my cousin did not find out if it was going to be a boy or girl (she already has one of each)...
I am knitting squares in cream, pink and blue at the moment...using different types of stitch...I have 5 done already and I'll need 54 in total (to make a 6 by 9 blanket) plus a crocheted border...

 

^^^ Wool colours...

 

^^^ 3 plain knitted squares...

 

^^^ 2 knit on one row, pearl on the next...

(bit curly at the edges but will be okay when stitched together in a blanket!)

 

^^^ Basketweave squares...knit 4 stitches, pearl 4 to end - do 4 rows of this...

THEN once the 4 rows are done, knit where pearl stitches were before and pearl where knit stitches were...looks like a little checkerboard...the pink one was the 1st square that I knitted and I was just playing around, its a bit different from the cream one...

That's it so far...
