Pinwheel Baby Blanket

I thought I might be insane in starting this project:

Fingering weight yarn + US 2 needles + Blanket =  INSANITY!



But look at how cool it is!!!

This is 1 skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the Seaside colorway.  Right now it measures 16 inches in diameter.  I'm aiming for 36 inches, I think.  I started with 5 stitches, and I'm up to 400.  Now I have to think about how I would like to finish it with the edging.  A picot edge?  A ruffled edge?  A garter stitch edge?  A crocheted scallop edge?

I don't know who this is for yet.  The yarn just spoke to me.  It said, I need more than socks!  I need to be displayed proudly and boldly.  Show all my colors!  There are plently of pregnant ladies around me.  I am sure it will find a home.  (Or maybe I'll keep it for that someday for myself!)

Ech...now to get it back on the needles!
