It’s now 2 different colors and folded in the middle because I got carried away and added an extra - and unnecessary – two inches.
But, it’s looking more round these days if I do say so myself.
Now I can finally cast on for the ‘real’ size: a 39-inch diameter.
I have chosen yarn from my stash.
It’s not just some leftover yarn I had sitting around. Au contraire, I have been saving this yarn for almost 2 years now. My MIL purchased it from a craft/wool festival in Maine. The yarn was hand-dyed and hand-spun. It is soft as goose down. When my MIL couldn’t locate a pattern that would showcase the yarn’s splendor, she gifted it to me and told me to use it for something special. Using it to knit our first child a baseball blanket surely counts, right?
It’s just perfect. It sounds like the yarn was just waiting for your baby.
It sure does!
The yarn sounds perfect!
Perfect, love the description (soft as goose down), I can feel it now.
