What could be cuddlier than a garter stitch blanket?

Pattern: Moderne Baby Blanket
Yarn: Cascade Sierra, 4 colors, 2 skeins of each color
Needle: US 7 (My harmony options)
Started: Sometime around January 2008, while I was pregnant with Pigeon
Finished: June 25, 2009
Mods: The next to the last block was supposed to be 54 garter ridges. I did 3. The blanket was big enough. Another common mod is that I did not bind off every block. For my needs, the applied I-cord gives it enough stability.

Here you can see that 3 ridge block. I really wanted to do the block, but didn’t want to add much length to the blanket. And since we’re looking at it, here’s the tutorial I used for the applied I-cord.

And here’s the garter intarsia section. It wasn’t hard, just a little annoying.

The one other thing I did that I’d highly recommend to anyone is to work away the ends as you knit. It saved me a lot of time at the end!

Also shown is my new favorite indulgence – Hershey’s Treasures Special Dark with truffle filling. MMMMM

And for reading this far, you get a special bonus FO!

Pattern: Ballband Dishcloth
Yarn: Lily Sugar ‘n Cream solid and stripe
Needle: US 6 – 4.25mm
Start: June 26, 2009
Finish: June 29, 2009

What to knit next? Will it be from Mason-Dixon Knitting? Who knows.

Oh, Em… that’s gorgeous. Really. The colors work so well together, and it’s very much reminding me of Mondrian in its feel. Way to work that blankie!
