OpArt Blanket from Knitty Fall 2008
This huge blanket garnered much attention everywhere I went. Strangers repeatedly asked me for assurance: "It's for a girl, right?" It's not.
Knit for the punk-rock baby of a friend. Seriously, this kid is cooler than you, and he's not even eight pounds yet.
The yarn:
Knit Picks' Swish DK, in Coal and Petal. Took way more yarn than called for, approximately seven balls of each colour to make size small.
The project: http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall08/PATTopart.html
The result:
The rest: It was a pain to knit with over 600 stitches in the outer rounds, but much-appreciated by Baby H's parents, goodlookinout and husband D. I'm sure Baby H will appreciate it too, as soon as he wakes up from his nap.
