FO Friday: Kari’s Blanket
A little late for FO Friday, but here’s the finished baby blanket in all its glory:
I’m really, really happy with the way this turned out! Also, I’m delighted afresh with my new camera. These pictures were taken on the bed in my apartment, with limited light, but I don’t think you could ever tell.
I’m happy with the way the back looks post-blocking, too. It’s kind of a neat design in its own right:
The specs:
Pattern: My own. I’ll work on releasing this one (self-publish via Ravelry) as soon as the two Knit Picks sweaters are done. Hopefully within the next few weeks.
Yarn: Knit Picks Simply Cotton. The mama-to-be this is intended for wants organic clothes for baby, so this was perfect. Love the depth of the color, and it got even softer and smooshier with blocking.
Notes: I’m holding onto this FO until next month, when I’m throwing my bestie a baby shower. I can’t wait to give it to her…
This may be a contender for best picture I've ever taken.
Absolutely stunning pictures. Seriously, wonderful job! I also love the stitch pattern that you decided on, it is beautiful and inspiring!
Gorgeous! You’re right, the back looks great on it’s own! What a great stitch pattern for a blanket.
wow, that is amazing! I saw it and wanted to go check out the pattern until I read that you created it. I’ll be checking back. The texture is amazing, it looks so cool! I think the front looks like wheat and the back like little pea pods :) I like how both sides are different but still look really good.
Oh my – what a stunning blanket and the pattern is amazing
That is a gorgeous pattern! I’m in awe of people who can create their own designs and make such beautiful things.
I love this stitch pattern! Now I want to make this. Like I need another project on the needles! Just beautiful!
This is STUNNING! I love that you knit a baby blankey in a “NON” baby color! It’s really beautiful.
Gorgeous!!! Love the photos too! What kind of camera?
