FO Friday - Baby Blanket for Trilby

I'm so happy this blanket is finished!  I told you here that my sister asked me to make it for her future sister-in-law.  Let me just get right to the pictures!

I  managed to make the ends straight.  Its not perfect, but I think it works!

I couldn't get a picture of it all and not have it blurry.  I think my hands were shaking a bit.  This is the best out of all of them.

Details:

Pattern - Neat Ripple Pattern by Lucy of Attic24

Yarn - Knit Picks Shine Worsted - this comes in 50g skeins

           6 skeins of Sky (light blue)

           3 skeins of French Blue (medium blue)

           4 skeins of Sailor (dark blue)

Hook - 6.0mm J hook, I think it might have looked a bit better with one size smaller of a hook

Size - 38" wide, 31" tall (79x96cm)- I accidentally made the width the longest side.

Baby Blanket Request - WIP Wednesday

My sister's future sister-in-law is having a baby, so my sister, Missy, asked if I would make her a baby blanket.  I know what you are thinking, didn't this girl just make a list and say she was going to selfish crochet/knit this year?  Yes, guilty as charged, but in my defense, I agreed to this project in 2011.  So it doesn't technically count, right?

Well this is my only WIP right now, besides my learning knitting swatch.

I have more done now, its about half way done now.  I think, well I know, that I am turning this side ways.  The waves will be vertical ones because I started wider than I thought.  Can you tell it will be a little boy?
