A noob sharing a f.o blanket

#1

:waving: Hi, I just joined this forum today and have been knitting ever since Jan 2007 and now I am hooked :woohoo: . I am a complete noob still getting the hang of knitting. I just wanted to share a pic of one of the projects I am working on for my nephew, a baby blanket. I incorporated seed stitch and lacy chevron and used Caron Simply Soft to knit it xxx , with size 10 needles. Thank you for looking.

Thank you auburnchick, Jan in Ca and landolphe for your kind words :oops: .
Oh and landolphe it took me about 2 weeks to finish the blanket (long sleepless nights) and the measurements are 37" across and 40" down. lol I would’ve made it even bigger if my bf didn’t stop to remind me that it was for a 1y/o. :rofl:

You must be a Continental knitter because of that seed st. It’s a right pain for throwers like me.
