Unfortunately, I am still WAY behind in blogging about my knitting projects over the past few months, so this is a quick post to get me back on track (I hope!). Earlier this year, I completed a blanket for baby Asha who happened to arrive on my birthday. Baby Asha's parents had told me about their intended color schemes before her birth, so I was able to spend some time looking for the perfect color and design pattern. I settled on the Leafy Baby Blanket by Leyla Alieva, and some beautiful green yarn from my new local yarn shop, Argyle Yarn Shop. The project turned out perfectly – the yarn was the ideal weight to showcase the design and I really liked the size of the finished blanket as well. More details follow the picture of the completed blanket below.
