Mmmm...Blankets

So I have been in love with blankets since I can remember. Actually...I think that I have been in love with cuddling with blankets . At any rate, I find myself drawn to any blanket. And now seems to be the time when everyone I know is having a baby and what is better than a knitted blanket just for the new baby?

So I found this blanket while trolling the Craftster site made by Farrah. To see her post follow this link http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=242968.0

I love this blanket! It is such a kid thing! Swirly, comfy and cool to look at. And you knit it in parts which is great for me because i tend to get bored knitting the same one large piece for a long time. So this is on my list of things to make for upcomming babies.
