Well, I have made some progress on my first blanket. It is now up to 20", so only 20" to go. Lately, I have been making so many mistakes, I am almost to the point of chucking it, but I promised my friend a handmade blanket. “It does get better” has become my mantra. Pictures when it is finally done.
I am new to knitting, but will start my 1st baby blanket on Mon. when my yarn arrives. It is for friends of ours who just had their 1st baby after a decade of trying. He is a very special little boy! I also need to make one for my precious nephew, who has already turned one. We have yet to send a baby present (bad Aunt) for him! This is my first KAL!!! :knitting:
im going to restart on monday so i dont see why u cant start then 2, im also knitting a promised handmade blanket for a boy hes not due to arive till jan or early feb but at this pace he shall get it when hes 1.
Welcome chie96!!
I am almost finished with mine but am not sure if the length is where I want it… it measures about 30-32 inches but I still have to add 15 rows of garter stitch. What length will your blankets be when you are finished?
Well, a week of knitting has put me to 27 1/2 inches. :woohoo: only 12 1/2 inches to go. Mine when done will be 32ish inches by 40ish inches. Hopefully it will be done by the 10th or 11th of November. Wish me luck.
I started knitting a corner to corner baby blanket. A teen girl I know is having a baby in March. She hasn’t a lot of help or support from her family - sadly.
I am using Bernat baby coordinates sweet stripes yarn.
I started a baby blanket yesterday. I am knitting it with DK yarn (don’t know the brand name as it was in my stash, but if I were doing it again I would make it something a little bit thicker) and I am using the Ribs and Ruffles pattern and the stitch is called Eve’s Rib. I started by CO 75 stitches, knit one row and started in on the pattern. I will make it about 24" long. It is wide enough to be used for a blanket to put over the car seat when little one is taken outside in the winter but airy enough so the child can breath under it. I am at 3 inches now. Can I join?
The pattern for this says 28 x 28.
I am using the pattern from the yarn package, so it should be pretty close to that size when I am done as my gauge was correct when I swatched it.

Sure you can join. [COLOR=blue]Welcome!!![/COLOR] Your blanket sounds [COLOR=darkorange]great[/COLOR].cloud9
[COLOR=darkgreen]I am still working on my blanket. It’s very simple and plain. I am using Caron Simply Soft in Jonquil ([COLOR=yellow]a bright yellow[/COLOR]). I’m just doing a garter border with a stockinette center. I am putting 1 row of garter about every 20 rows so it’s not totally plain. It sould be about 36x30 inches when I’m done. I needed a nice mindless knit since my other project is my first set of gloves. I’m about a 1/3 of the way done with the blanket. I have another I need to make soon, but I haven’t decided what to do for that one yet.[/COLOR]
Okay, question time. I have a baby blanket that is about 32"ish by around 31-32"ish. Would I be a horrible person if I do not make it 40"? I am really tired of this blanket, and really need to work on the other two and get them to America before Christmas. Any advice would be nice.
That is a good “newborn” size blanket. If you are sick of it, bind it off and go on!!
DITTO!:mrgreen:
Well, I decided to go ahead and finish the last 20 pattern repeats so that it would be even and bind off. Then I talked to my friend, Brittany, and found out she will probably deliver early since contractions have started 6 six weeks early. The blanket just needs the ends woven in, and a picture for flickr, and into the mail it goes.
I have started the second blanket needed before Christmas, and will cast on for the third when I finish with KH.
OK - I CO my very 1st baby blanket a few days ago and I am really excited. At first I wasn’t wild about the color of the yarn (I bought it from the Lion Brand site and the color on my screen wasn’t exactly what I ended up with). But…I started knitting it anyhow and now I 
it! By my measurements, I am 20% finished. I hope to finish it by Sun. evening. We are having company this weekend so if I can’t get it done, I at least want it done by Thanksgiving. TY for looking!
I finished my Devil’s baby blanket . It turned out awesome . it’s knit from one corner up and has a hood in one corner with horns ( it’s a devils baby blanket after all ) and then has a pointed tail . I got the pattern from Crazy Aunt Purl’s Drunk Divorced and Covered In Cat Hair .
the grandbaby I knit this for should be born in about three weeks or so .
