Striped Baby Blanket

Yesterday I went to Michael's and bought some yarn to knit a baby blanket.  It's just going to be a simple garter stitch stripe in shades of blues and grays.  I also bought a circular needle but after casting on and knitting the first row, I discovered that one of the points was rough and kept catching the yarn.



So I found a long pair of bamboo needles and continued on them.



But I didn't like how hard the yarn felt so I undid everything this morning and changed to a slightly larger needle!


It's going well and I hope to have the first colour finished today!

I'm still working on my granny squares - I'm about halfway through crocheting them into squares but I'm kind of bored with it at the moment!  I do need to finish it because I want to put it in The Bean and Sissy's room upstairs.  But that's for another day!  

Until next time ...
