Baby Irene, the child of two friends, was born in late April, about a week past due. For my knitting purposes, that delay meant that I accomplished a rare feat – completing a baby knit item before a baby is born!
The resulting knit item was a Sugarplums Blanket, a beautiful pattern that I've had my eye on for a few years. The pattern features interlocking wide cables, which were perfectly highlighted by the superwash wool I chose for the blanket. I really hope Irene can use this blanket for years – it was such a treat to knit that I hope it's a treat to use as well!
