For the Shorty...

Mommy, I want a blanket. Ok, what do you want it to look like? ORANGE! And wavy! With purple too!

Oh my! Here’s my handy Michaels coupon! PERFECT orange! And oh what a neat variegated colour! I’ve got purple that will match.

Then we found the pattern. The Gaelic Bay Afghan by LionBrand.

Its taken a lot of work, many ripped out rows, to get this far. 6, and 6, 6 and 6, up and down, decrease and add....

The pattern calls for 2 rows of each. I am using 2 colour, 1 white, 2 colour. it was too much white when I used 2 rows white.

As I work on it, she snuggles underneath. Come to an end and she moves to the other side. Every now and then I find her wrapped up.

You can feel the love in it already. Its warm and snugly soft. I’m using the Phentex Sport Tangerine for the solid orange, and Bernat Sport ginseng for the variegated. The purple however is many bits and pieces in my stash (I went through a purple phase).

I want this to be a bed size, so she can carry it with her forever.
Strangely enough, working last night I managed to run out of ginseng.

Guess where I’m going today?
