Last week my dear friend Blogless Sharon celebrated the birth of a new grandson. I celebrated by knitting him a blanket.
I knew as soon as I saw this blanket on the Knitspot blog that I just had to knit it for someone. I greatly appreciate that Sharon’s daughter Heather provided a baby so readily.
The yarn is gorgeous and comes from another Heather, this being the one that dyes such wonderful yarns and fibers and sells them under the name Sereknity.
It was a fun pattern to knit and I never got bored. The subtle color changes of the yarn go perfectly with the design and it is oh-so-photogenic.
I hope Baby Nathaniel feels wrapped in wool-y love every time his mama uses it.

That came out really nicely! Love the camo colors- just as you had envisioned.

Serendipity! I was looking for a baby blanket, not too much of a breeze, to take on a looonnngg car trip.
Yours is beautiful! And the dyework on the yarn is lovely too. What a nice gift.

Wonderful! I’m thinking of knitting this one for my first grandchild (due in late January).

How nice. I’ve got a special great niece coming in November – you may have helped with my decision on what extra special gift to make. Thanks Carole!
jill Said,
What a snuggly finished project. I began one for my cousin’s grandchild, but my daughter has claimed it for a reading blanket. Guess I’ll be knitting it twice; good thing it’s so fun to knit!
Donna Said,
Carole – that is beautiful! I love the pattern.
Yay – a new baby!! Always fun.
