A very dear and lovely cousin informed us that the baby she and her husband are expecting will be boy arriving in October. And my knitter brain went DING! The Westport Blanket I started earlier this year will make the perfect baby boy gift. A knitter has got to love when you already have a project started and you find the most perfect home for it. So I picked this project back up and have started really working through it. I’m six pattern repeats in and I just started my second skeins.
I am holding Knit Picks Mighty Stitch held double to achieve bulky yarn gauge. I have used two skeins already, attached two more with a third pair waiting in the wings. The last pair aren’t two equal full skeins. I broke into one skein to knit a swatch I have lost to the ether somewhere. So I know I’ll have enough yarn to finish the blanket but I really want to use all the yarn up. So I may have to do a little pattern modification and re-calculation when I get to the end of the instructions and I still have yarn left. We shall see!
Happy Knitting!!
My Tangled Yarn Knitting Adventures 
You could add a stripe or block, if you have more of that same yarn in a coordinating color and don’t think you will have enough of the blue.
This is going be so cozy to wrap up a baby in.
Oh that’s the best experience for a knitter. It’s going to be gorgeous:)
I love that, I should get that pattern in my library.
It is looking great! Gotta love the project serendipity 🙂
Love a baby project!
Currently watching a great FB vid re baby knitting. I have been knitting for years but still love seeing simple ideas for new baby knits (and old techniques/new fashion ideas/practical ways things are knitted to actually dress a baby without getting into a tangle!) https://www.facebook.com/lovecraftsknitting/videos/2320718901513363/
Luscious color!
