A UFO becomes a WIP - Knitting Mom's Lap Blanket

Many, many years ago, my mom purchased a yarn kit from Family Circle magazine to make a lap/baby blanket.

The colors are just beautiful - soft, powder blue and lavender.  Since mom can't knit any longer due to arthritis, I decided to make it for her.

I have finally gotten the hang of knitting with these circular knitting needles!! (I only learned how to knit a year ago!)  I have more than once kept on knitting and made a complete circle!  Duh!  I'm embarrassed to say that I have had to pull this thing out more than I care to tell you!  Oh!  And did I mention that the yarn is actually FIVE different colors knitted as ONE???? - Every once in a while when I'm knitting along at a smooth pace, I look down and somehow have forgotten one of the strands and have had to pull out a part of a row and pick it back up - ugh!

Anyway, its coming along and soon it will be done.  I hope mom will enjoy using it while sitting in the afternoons and reading.

It was a sunny day here in southern Del.  Pretty soon spring will be here - can't wait!

So glad you stopped by to see my latest Wednesday Work in Progress.  I'm joining Esther over here for WOW WIPS on Wednesday - why don't you click on over and check out what she's up to lately - this is one very talented quilter!!!  There are quite a few other women linking up on Esther's page who are making some very pretty things.

Many blessings,

Pat
