Thanks to all who responded to my requests for feedback on the Heart Baby Blanket.

I Don’t Know Nothin’ About Birthin’ No Babies

I was surprised at the results and expected just the opposite in percentages.  I was fully anticipating adding on another row of hearts before binding off on this project.

But I also had no idea that babies don’t seem to sleep with blankets in their crib any more, and blankets that are too big will just get in the way and drag on the ground  if used in a car seat and/or stroller.

Good to have some breeders who know things about babies and their associated blankets.

Current Knitting

So I went with the majority of opinions and bound off the Heart Baby Blanket

I have a couple of ends to weave in, and I will wash and block the blanket before wrapping it up (even though I’m sure the mom will wash it again), but overall, I’m quite happy with this project.  It’s not the most interesting project I’ve worked on, but it results in a lovely blanket.

Readers’ Comments/Questions

In comments, Jenny writes, “Is the heart blanket your own pattern or one available to the public?”

The pattern is not mine and is available for free, but it has a LOT of errors in it…if you’re an experienced knitter, you can easily figure it out.
