Moderne Baby Blanket

I hate to admit how long it has taken me to put this crib size modern log cabin blanket together.


For some reason I experienced an on again/off again relationship with it from the start. I look back and wonder what was keeping me from whipping this one up?  Easy garter stitch rows, Painless color changes using Vanna’s Choice yarn, and a well-written pattern from Mason Dixon Knitting should have equaled a quick knit. Well it just wasn’t that way for me.  I’d knit a bit, put it down and go work on something else, over and over again.  I guess there are just some projects that don't hold my attention for very long.  I’m glad I finally forced myself to sit and complete this blanket and gift it to the sweet little baby girl that was born this week.  Ah babies, they are the best!

  2. Lovely blanket! I think we all have these kinds of projects, without knowing why they don't work for you. Great you finished it.
