It's all baby blankets all the time . The two blankets measure up to about 40 inches or so . I say or so because every time I measure the darn things the measurements change . What's with that ? The red one is 21 " long , by my calculations another 9 " and I'm done . A couple of people asked about the yarn that I'm using . It's Bernats' Soft Boucle , beautifully soft , light as a feather , easy care , wears like iron , but a b***h to knit with . . The blanket for Max and Stef's baby is coming along nicely too . With that one there's plenty of time before it's needed so I can take a break with other knitting .
Last week I splurged on some new yarn . Valerie & her mom ( Wandering Cat Yarns ) had been busy dyeing up some new yarn for their etsy store . I had a peek and saw this beauty . It's the prettiest lilac / mauve colour . It was a must have . It arrived today and completely lives up to my expectations . I have 2 shawls in mind for this , it's a toss up depending on yardage . So far the frontrunner is Arabella . I just have to get done with the other WIPs . I MUST NOT cast on for anything else !

Your new yarn looks lovely. What a pretty color.
Pretty new yarn!
That boucle stuff is a pain. I knit with Bernat Baby Boucle once, I think, a poncho years back when we first took over the yarn shop and they were in style. It's still there, lol, and it was a PAIN to work with. They've since discontinued the Baby Boucle.
Oooh I can't wait to see what you make with it! Fluffy Cat is my absolute favourite base!
Gorgeous colour yarn. So hard not to start something right away when you get new yarn!
