Baby Chalice Blanket

July 27, 2009 By Carole

The Baby Chalice Blanket is a purple blob no more.

Now it’s a lovely and soft and beautiful blanket for the baby of a wonderful friend.

The yarn is Madelinetosh Worsted in the color Dahlia.  And I truly think it’s a fantastic match of yarn and pattern.

I enjoyed every moment of knitting this blanket, from the cast on by the pool in Gettysburg to the car knitting and deck knitting and binding off in the air-conditioned goodness of my living room.

I finished it up with my first-ever crocheted edge.  I think I did it right but don’t tell me if I didn’t.

And now it’s folded up and ready to be gifted just as soon as this new little one arrives.  I hope she’ll enjoy it’s warmth and comfort for many years.  And I hope that she’ll always know that it was knit with lots and lots of love.

    The blanket is beautiful. The babe must be special to you for you to knit a blanket. It would be hard to part with.

    Carole, it’s beautiful. In fact, I love the pattern so much after seeing it here the other day that I may have begun a bit of experimentation with it… 😉

    That blanket is so beautiful. I love giving (and receiving) knitted items because people always use it with such care. I’m sure that’s going to be the baby’s favorite blankie.

    Everytime I’ve given a blanket I’ve made to a child they end up carrying it for years, later they become their TV blanket. This one is so pretty and you are right the yarn and pattern go very well together.

    I love that blanket the more I see it. 🙂 I will have to designate some yarn for that project!

  18. elizabeth says

    July 27, 2009 at 10:38 am

    It is beautiful, and you’re right, it’s perfect in that yarn!

  19. kathy b says

    July 27, 2009 at 11:00 am

    It is a work of art from the stitches, including the crocheted!, to the color choice and yarn choice. Lucky lucky baby! I’m done having babies, but I can be a BIG baby for a blanket like that.

  20. Sylvia says

    You finished knitting and have it blocked and ready to go and the baby hasn’t arrived yet? Huhn? You are almost too perfect, Carole. This is the stuff of role models: a gorgeous, useful heirloom and done on time. Wow.

    July 28, 2009 at 2:34 am

    That is gorgeous, Carole! It is perfect in every way, down to that perfect edge. That is the kind of pattern and yarn that can get me excited about knitting a baby blanket.

  43. Kathleen says

    July 28, 2009 at 9:27 am

    So pretty! I saw it on Ravelry but didn’t have a chance to comment before we hit the road back to Maine, so now I can comment here. Love the pattern and colorway! I’m afraid to find out that Tosh Worsted is as wonderful a yarn as her Sock. Must get job so I can feed the addiction. What a lucky baby.

  44. Teyani says

    July 28, 2009 at 10:26 am

    It is soooo lovely. And I completely agree that the combo of yarn and pattern are perfect.

  45. Hillary says

    July 28, 2009 at 12:02 pm

    The blanket is lovely. I’m sure that it will be a huge hit and keep the new baby very warm and comfy. Great color.

  46. Kim says

    July 28, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    That is a gorgeous blanket! What an incredible gift. I might be afraid to use it if I were the new mom.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
