This time this blanket is for a friend at work. She went out on maternity leave and she will be due back really soon, so I really need to get on the horn if I want to send it to her before her return.
I am using Loops & Threads Impeccable (100% Acrylic, 128g each) in Clear Blue, Soft Fern and White. While I am working with it, I am not loving this yarn; it is very stiff. I am used to doing this large project with Berroco Comfort and that is relaxed and not so much strain on your wrists to get it out of the skein and to manipulate. I wanted to save a few bucks (in case I never see this gal again; who knows, she may love staying at home and quit her job at work. It would not be the first time I have seen this happen after the first child is born).
There is Razzy, helping me crochet. Yarn attracts the cats, no doubt. I ended up using one whole skein of each color and a little bit from a second skein.
These types of blankets relax the more you wash them. Acrylic is not the softest yarn, but it is sturdy. It can withstand lots of wear and tear.
It will be nice to have a little blanket to cover either mommy or baby during those late night feedings or a nice square to lay down for the baby to hang out on the floor.
This was a simple granny square thing, around and around. Perfect project for a beginner crocheter and a perfect project to use up scraps of yarn.
