Cradle Me Blanket

July 14, 2010 By Carole

Last week my dear friend Blogless Sharon celebrated the birth of a new grandson. I celebrated by knitting him a blanket.

Cradle Me Blanket full shot blog size

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.

Cradle Me Blanket a bit closer blog size

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.

    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!

    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!

    That’s such a great baby blanket. I love that it’s a non-traditional baby color. So thoughtful of Sharon’s daughter to provide a baby to knit for.

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
