I’ve finished the baby blanket, so the baby can come now, right? 
This Pinwheel Blanket is finished. I used Dream in Color Smooshy in Callous Pink. I used almost 3 full skeins. The color looks very different in different lights. Sometimes the grey looks very grey, and sometimes it looks completely purple. I’ve loved and hated this colorway during the knitting. At certain points the skeins got very grey and I felt like they weren’t cheery enough for a baby blanket. Z’s was much more bright. I’ve decided to think of it as elegant and leave it at that. 
This ended up being about 40″ in diameter. I was aiming to make it the same size as Z’s and I pretty much succeeded. Even though I use the same kind of yarn I somehow got to more stitches and ended up with more leftover yarn when I made Z’s (800 stitches and about 1/3 of the ball). This time I used almost all of the yarn and only got to about 750 stitches around. It’s a bit mystifying considering I used the exact same size 5 needle. When I blocked this it greeeeeewwwwww, so I threw it in the dryer a bit to firm up.
I’m down to two WIPs, y’all. This is pretty crazy and kind of awesome. I finished and blocked Vitamin D and will show that soon. I’m still on the sleeves of Breezy Cardigan and it’s been fairly cool and damp the last few days, making me happy to knit wool. I have Kiddo Kicks socks that I’m saving for a small project to take to the hospital and that’s it. I’d better start dreaming of new knits…
You are really knitting like crazy! Love the new little one’s blanket.
I think it’s super cherry when you see it. But edgier on the close up. Which is amazing to achieve both. Definitely a piece that will be cherished.
Okay. Enjoy these final days. Get lots of rest. As you know, you will need it! Lovely blanket.
Baby Blanket is beautiful – very elegant!!
So beautiful! I love the colors!
Love the blanket! So nice!! You succeeded for sure!
It’s so beautiful!!!! I love that color.
It’s beautiful! I just finished a shawl with similar colored yarn
Maybe the nesting instinct, you want to be finished and ready for qhen the baby arrives. Well done, it is a beautiful blanket.
I love that color!
That is gorgeous! I love the colour.
Don’t you worry, baby will come soon and they will enjoy that blanket! It looks amazing
Beautiful. I really like the gray in the blanket. It adds a nice neutral edginess to it.
I love the colourway! It’s definitely still feminine and fun but the grey/purple bits add a little something unexpected. You’ll be wrapping your adorable bundle in that lovely blanket any day now! Sending you good vibes!
Love the color! It is most definitely elegant!
A lovely blanket! Your posts on them made me try knitting one myself and I am hooked (other than when it gets to 750 stitches per round …..) All the best wishes for the new arrival!
wow–it’s beautiful! Good luck with the baby-to-be
This gave me an idea for a crochet pattern to try. I wonder how it will turn out.
I love the colours, to be honest. They are very calm and soothing; I’m sure it will be greatly loved. 🙂
