Finished!


Look what I finished!

These baby blankets are the ones I was weaving on my drawloom.  This first one is the only one going into my drawer for later.

Two of my friends are becoming first time grandmothers, so this one  went across town.

And this one flew off to Texas.

My mother taught me how to knit. She also knit for me. I didn't have a store bought sweater until I was 16. A few months ago, Mom said she needed a summer weight cardigan. The yarn is Zooey. I started with the pattern, Winterfell, and made a few changes following Ann Budd's book. The biggest change was to go from raglan to a set-in sleeve. What an incredible gift it is for me to be able to knit for my Mom!
