Between cousins and friends having four babies within a couple months of each other, I was starting to think a memo went out last year. After knitting four baby blankets I’ve learned that I’m not a good judge of how big something will end up being. They were either really big or really little. Ah, well.

 Since Gracie was so patient watching blanket after blanket go out in the mail, I took her to Hobby Lobby and let her pick out some yarn for a blanket of her own. She picked dark pink, light pink and white with sparkles. What a girly girl. I’m using the wave blanket pattern  from Loop Knits. It’s an enjoyable pattern to knit because I only have to pay attention every fourth row. I still managed to screw that up a few times, but I’m pretty sure pulling out rows builds character.
