okay, i've never been shy about my dislike for pink (well, maybe 'dislike' isn't strong enough a word), so imagine my disgruntlement at being asked to make a pink baby blanket for someone! however, when someone offers to actually pay for said blanket, you suck it up and knit in whatever color they request!
so, that is how i came to buy and subsequently knit with strawberries & creme cotton from Pisgah in a self designed pattern. it took me a little over a month, however, would have taken me less if i hadn't gotten so bored with it. quite honestly, the main reason for the white stripe was just to break up the monotony... not on their part, but on mine!!!!!
anyway, even considering my original dislike for the color, i'm quite happy with the outcome, and more importantly, the buyer was happy with it! when i dropped it off for her yesterday, she was on her way to see her new grandaughter for the first time, and she was so excited.
now, for anyone who might be interested in the pattern, i'm going to post it here (probably later on this weekend as i haven't typed it up yet) and i hope you'll enjoy it! also, if you do make one, drop me a link in the comments as i'd love to see it! :)
