The Bunny Blanket

 Huh, how about that? Something that isn't a ziggurat sweater. Don't panic however, there are more of those coming.

In the meantime, I have managed to (finally) complete a double knit baby blanket. It's larger than most at 85cmX102cm knitted with sport weight yarn on 4.0mm needles and with the time it takes to knit up the (totally awesome) double knit fabric it took close to two years (1 year & 11 months) to complete. A lot of that was me getting tired of knitting on it and letting it sit untouched for months on end.

I made up this pattern completely, including drawing the bunny. Drawing isn't my strongest skill as you may have guessed from the rather primitive looking bunny. But, it works for a baby blanket. Maybe I'll try a mouse next.

Pattern: Improvised
Yarn: Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly Big! in White and Lilac
Needle: 4.0mm
Gauge: not critical


Current weather
19C and partly cloudy. Spring has returned after a couple of weeks on hiatus while it snowed.
