I finished this baby blanket today. It is a gift for a friends new granddaughter. I used Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale" yarn- 100% cotton, and size 8 needles. The pic is taken before blocking.

you might want to retune that television screen, got some weird, what? it's a blanket? oh nevermind then, looking pretty good :D Seriously, all kidding aside, that pattern it developed is quite the hypnotic.

Thanks, everyone!!
The pattern that I used was one I got for free from my LYS when I purchased the yarn. It was really simple- just a matter of knitting a YO and then a SSK repeat of 4 sts across the row, and purling the WS rows. I'm not sure what the rules are for posting patterns- if I'm allowed to, I'd be more than happy to post it.
Iwaly, the yarn was Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale", and it doesn't have a color name on the label- just a number. It is #9946.
I didn't realize how wild the colors looked in the photos until after I posted them- it really isn't that pschyadelic in real life!! More of a variegated bright pastels.
