Ben’s baby blanket has been done for a bit and was gifted just before I left for vacation. Now that I have the time, I can finally post about it!

This was a gift for some friends who are having a baby boy almost any day now. The request was for a knitted blanket with the baby’s name embroidered on it as the mom-to-be had a similar blankey when she was younger. Knit out of Bernat Cotton Tots in a cable pattern that I made up as I went along, it was a pretty fun but simple knit. Excuse the pictures, they were taken last minute with a not so great camera in not so great light.

I am obviously not as good at sewing as I am at knitting. Oh well, it’s servicable and even kinda cute in a horribly disfigured sort of way.

In my defense, embroidering on knitted cotton yarn is not exactly the easiest thing I’ve had to do lately. The good part is that the parents loved it and I am done! I still have several balls left of the cotton tots, it looks like they will get a matching outfit at some point as well.
