During my department knitting lunch meeting on Friday I finally finished the Big Bad Baby Blanket (from Stitch 'n Bitch). I love the finished product, but was starting to get really really tired of knitting it, especially when I still have lots more knitting to do before Christmas! Here's a picture of the FO (the full blanket pic is the closest to the true color).
And a close up of the center where the stockinette meets reverse stockinette:
And a shot of the seed stitch border:
The blanket is for our upcoming niece/nephew. It's so soft and warm, I hope it's a hit!
Now knitting: Pink felted purse for my sister-in-law.
Good for you! I have totally stalled on the baby blanket i was making. Actually, it's been relegated to a dog blanket now, but it's still not done!

Posted by: knitting maven at February 3, 2005 4:24 PMHey! I'm working on the big bad baby blanket for my second "real" project... I've ripped it apart eleven times now... I don't know what the deal is! Is the pattern correct? Because I just don't know how a seed stitch is supposed to appear out of:
row 1: k1, p1, repeat to end
row 2: p1, k1, repeat to end
If you END with a purl and START with a purl... its just not working!!! =~( I've been searching for help on it, and I am totally at your mercy!!!
