An Aunt is born…

On February 14th, my mom called with my valentines day surprise! I’m going to be an aunt!  Woohoo! Not only was one of my best friends expecting at the end of July, my brother and girlfriend are now expecting mid-October.

So, the needles are on fire!!

Baby blanket #1 is half done. I’ve modified a cute pattern I found online.  Using size 3 and 13 (US) needles, knit 7 rows of colour A with #13s. Switch to #3s and knit 7 rows with either colour A or B of your choice. Alternate needle/colour rows til reaching desired length.

I’m using Bernat Softee Baby white with the #13s and BSB yellow, green and blue/yellow/green mix with the #3s. Pattern is then w/y/w/g/w/mix repeat.

I’ll post a pic within the next few days.

The second blanket will follow the same pattern, however be green based with yellow and blue bands.
