baby blanket


We recently found out that good friends of ours are expecting their first baby this Spring. The minute I found out I knew I wanted to give them something hand made. I just finished a swaddling blanket using directions from the purl bee. I love all of the vibrant colors and patterns from the echino collection so as soon as I found the directions I ran over to the needle shop and bought myself some overpriced fabric (but so worth it) and some contrasting cotton shot. Instead of adding a running stitch border I closed the 3 inch gap on the side with an invisible stitch.
