Hot off the needles!
Pattern - Akina Blanket (Oge Knitwear Designs - Ravelry)
Yarn - Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly in white
Approx. Size (with 1 additional pattern repeat) - 33” x 35”
A first-time pattern for me - love the detailed borders, which are fancier than garter stitch or similar.

Pattern - Baby Blanket with Delicate Leaf P041
Yarn - Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly white
Approximate Size (blocked) - 35”x36”
A first-time pattern for me - love the raised diagonal borders, a bit fancier than a traditional garter stitch or similar. I may add this border to other blanket patterns.

Hot off the needles! Pattern - Dalekanium Socks. Yarn - Dottir Dye Works. Colourway - Unicorn Farts. Friends went to Iceland, discovered a local yarn shop, & asked if I wanted any. I couldn’t pass up Unicorn Farts! I love this pattern b/c the slipped stitches allow you to see the colour variation.

Secret Garden Baby Blanket (Ravelry)
with Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly in white. Finished size @ 31” x 32”. A new to me” pattern. I’ll likely do it again with a modifications. I prefer a larger blanket, so I’d add a pattern repeat in the centre panel or make the border wider on all four sides. 🧶

“Not so hot” off the needles with this one! Finished a couple of weeks ago, but was too lazy to block it right away.
Lace & Diamond Heirloom baby blanket (Ravelry), Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly yarn in white. I’ve done this pattern several times as it’s a favourite. Finished size @ 41” x 38” 🧶

Pattern - Milestones baby blanket (Ravelry)
Yarn - Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly in white
Size - approx. 43” x 48”
I love this pattern because the blanket is reversible, and when you catch the pattern from a certain angle, it looks like diagonal rows of blocks or cubes.

The sewing machine has been idle since November when I made a dress for Christmas. It’s been even longer since I’ve done any baby gift sewing = 4 over-the-shoulder burp cloths, 6 double-sided flannel swaddling blankets (1m x 1m), 6 small bibs, and 6 large bibs. Whew! 😅 🧵 🪡

Pattern - Ravelry - Dean’s Blanket
Yarn - Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly white
Measurement - 42” x 44”
At first, this appears to be a white baby blanket. From above it’s tricky to see staggered rows of small “bubbles” - a closer, side angle view, and you can see the texture.
