I am really impressed with Storey Publishing. I sent an email yesterday about the error in the Wave Jumper pattern. Today, I got email back from the editor of One-Skein Wonders series, Judith Durant. She thanked me for alerting them to the issue.
She sent me the corrections for the pattern in the middle size! Within a day! I am mighty impressed.
I wanted a baby project to work on last night. After the Wave Jumper, I decided I needed a super simple project. I cast on the Baby Love Diagonal Baby Blanket by Lion Brand Yarn.

The beauty besides the simplicity is that since it is a diagonal, half the blanket is increases, the second half decreases. I have two skeins of Caron Simply Soft Eco yarn. So when skein #1 is about to run out, I can start the decreases with #2. So that way the blanket will work out regardless of how big it is.
Since I have less yarn than the pattern calls for, I figure my blanket will be much smaller. But I think it should still be a nice size.
Big blankets are for wrapping her in.
ReplyDeleteLittle blankets are for tucking over the carrier/carseat/carriage etc.
At last month's Knit Night someone admitted the diagonal baby blanket she last knit became that child's Lovey - something to aspire to!
