Baby Blanket Options.....

The Front 
The Back

I am thrilled with the blanket.  It may be one of my favorite Knit ups.  Yes it was lots of piecework but I love the outcome.  I am glad I knit a garter back for hiding the ends.  Yet, it seems a bit unfinished....
ideas anyone?  Fringe doesn't appeal to me on this one.  Perhaps I should just crochet a non-frilly edge around the whole thing.  Suggestions are encouraged.

I spent a good part of the evening yesterday decided what to knit next.   Without further ado, I shall tell you that some socks from a month ago ended up in my hands.   It feels like sock time to me again.   

Finally, Da Bears play The PACK tonight.  I have no hope whatsoever that Da Bears can win the game.  I'm not a magical thinker.....All you Packer fans out there will enjoy handing us a good licking.        I'm kind of a Packer Fan myself.......

Who knows what will happen in the game, I am a Packer Fan but their defense is pretty lacking, so we shall see. I think a nice crochet border would be perfect, maybe a simple shell? Love how the blanket turned out.
Hugs to you,

I think it looks nice the way it is, but I'll wait and see what others think.

I would do a crochet border. That seems to finish blankets off nicely.

I love a shell border on a baby blanket. Granted, my baby blanket has a shell border... and yes, that's present tense. It's still in the basket by my bed.

I think a border would look great! What about also tying it like you would tie a quilt? That would keep the two layers together nicely.

Love the blanket - maybe just a solid crocheted edge? In the second color from the top?

We watched that game. I'm not really a Packer's fan. Gotta say - I love your quarterback and felt seriously bad for him after the game. I also love that he was obnoxious with the press - who deserved it! "I dream of throwing 4 interceptions and being sacked 7 times!" perfect!!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
