Working on a baby blanket for a shower on Nov 13. [View all]

Right now I am practicing the stitch pattern on some junk yarn. The stitch is called Sober Granny. It is similar to Drunken Granny; the stitch sequence is a bit smaller.

Fortunately, baby blankets work up really fast.

I am making the blanket in pink and gray.This is a rather popular color combination this year. This future mom and another one have both chosen this as a color theme.

There is a third blanket, for a boy. He is also the 3rd baby for this family so I wanted to make something just for him. Looking for good color combo for a baby boy, and a good stitch/pattern.

There are so many designs! Thanks to You Tube I have found so many that are new to me.
