The name, Knitted Toddler Blanket, is a total misnomer. There's nothing toddler sized about it. I made one of these before. If you click here, you can see it. It was Navy & Gray in color. And I absolutely loved it when it was finished. But I hated making it. So...what do I do. I start another one of them today. Yep. I need my head examined. But, the first one was for Muffin Man and now Blue Boy needs one too. (Muffin Man and Blue Boy are brothers.) I dug around in my stash of yarn downstairs last night and found 4 skeins of Red Heart With Love in Holly Berry and 1 skein of Pewter. That should be enough to make this blanket if I switch up the size of the stripes.

Here I am casting on the 125 stitches and starting the first row of knitting.

I quickly worked a couple of rows because once I get them done, I won't rip it out and pretend it never existed.

And now, I have 10 rows done. I have to keep going. No turning back.
The last blanket took me forever so I will have to stay on top of this one so it doesn't take me forever too.
Great start to your blanket :-) I do that, too: make another project I didn't like making the first time. Pretty color.
ReplyDeletethank you. it makes a wonderful blanket, but i get tired of it about half way through because i'm a slow knitter. i think this time i will set myself a daily goal or weekly goal and maybe it will go faster.
