FO: My first project- a "crib" blanket

justcallmebecky · 08-08-2008, 11:37 AM

Well, it was supposed to be a baby blanket - but i didn't listen to my mother and figure out my gauge and ended up with this huge blanket. (i cast on 200 stitches and went to town)

LESSON LEARNED

so here it is - it's for my dear friend Jessica who is expecting any day now.

Pretty color!

I thought it was hanging on a wall then realized the picture was sideways.

I didn't check my guage for my latest project either... but you finished it and your friend will love it. And better bigger than too small. Nice choice of color, too

I agree better to be to big than to small...and she will be able to get a lot of use out of it too...very pretty

I always thought the size of baby blankets was silly. I always make something they can keep using. lol so I would have done what you did on purpose. And I agree about the color

Very cute. She will love it and the longer they can use it the better.

I agree completely (that the larger the blanket the better)
the blanket that I am designing (for my cousin's coming child, due December 20th) will be about 36x42 when finnished in mint green and yellow stripes with mint green seaming and a mint green basic lace border (my plans)
besides, gauge doesnt matter on a blanket, as long as its nice and covers the mother's recent project (baby), size doesnt matter
