Notes

Will be starting this as soon as (a) I finish my current, near-deadline baby blanket, and (b) the yarn order comes in from Deramores. I got it on sale for $1.70, so I’m happy with that.

This is for Brooke and Bryan (for whom I previously made a giftghan) and their first child, due in July 2017. At this point, I don’t know the baby’s gender, but Mama asked for grey and white, and wants the rest to be a surprise. She did point out the Cognac as one of her favorites in my Pinterest boards, so I’m thinking Silver motifs, with white join and border. It looks good in my head, but we shall see!

1 skein = three 8-inch octagons.
Hexagons = G hook (yep, I made 2 octagons with the F hook, and they’re a little smaller than all the other octagons, and I’m just going to incorporate them on the edges, separated from each other, and I’ll be the only one who ever knows.
Squares = F hook - The squares need to be a little smaller or they pucker up.

Those three motifs made with the F hook were nearly an inch smaller than all the rest, so no, they didn’t incorporate at all. Remade them.

Finishing this up today. This morning I finished up Jess’ baby’s blanket. So this will be two major projects finished up, paving the way to finish Eileen’s comforthan, and playing with my loom knitting for a little while so I can make hats and scarves and stuff.

Finished, washed, dried, blocked, ready to mail. Silver motifs joined with white. And I think it turned out quite pretty.
