Baby Blanket Done!
The Spiral Baby Blanket is now complete. There was a wee bit of trauma with the washing (the belt on the machine broke, and I had to take it to a washeteria to finish up), but the end result is a soft, snuggly, spiral of baby goodness.
Here's a pic pre-end tucking:
The ends were a bit of a nightmare. Note to self: next time you plan a shawl-type project, make sure you don't have to weave in ends. Already the little buggers are poking out their ugly little heads. This was never meant to be an heirloom blankie--it's done in Lion Pound of Love--but I should have left the huge skein intact instead of having fun with my ball winder. Ah, live and learn.
So, I'm off to a shower and then the baby shower...while the rain showers down over head. Enjoy your day!
Comments
The spiral blanket looks great. I like the simple color choice. I hope the ends worked out for you. I have used Fray Check on scarves...not sure how it would be on a baby blanket. The ends really don't bother me, I guess.
Not sure what to do with the Mexico yarn--the color is fun. How old are the grandkids? And how many?
