Here it is. The finished blanket. I actually finished it over the weekend (put off reading Harry Potter 7 until it was done) and gave it to the recipient on Tuesday this week. He seemed really happy and touched. I was just glad to make something pretty that the baby can hopefully enjoy for a long time to come.
He told me yesterday that when he took it home, his three year old used it as a superhero cape. But when he told her it was for the baby, she went straight away to lay it carefully in the bassinet. Very cute.
In between finishing that and getting the new yarn for the Gryffindor scarf and blanket, I made myself a Calorimetry. I've been looking at the pattern for a while, because I always have my hair in a ponytail or something similar, and I hate having that bump when you wear a hat over a ponytail. I had some Knit Picks Panache that I didn't know what to do with, so I used that. It's so soft and lovely. It's nice because it covers most of the top of my head and my ears, but is narrow enough in the back. It's pretty much perfect. I got some buttons for it last night so all I have to do is wash it to get any extra dye out and sew on the button and I'll be ready for the cold weather.
So now I'm working on the Gryffindor scarf for my friend's Halloween costume, C's husband J's blanket, and, eventually, Mystery Stole 3 for me. And also back to my laceweight Clapotis sometime in the future. Busy busy.
