I am pleased to report that I have finished my Peek-a-Boo baby blanket... well, kind of! (See more about the blanket pattern here.)
This is for a pregnant friend from work. She doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, so I thought that this colour would be lovely for both. It's the colour that Sandra (the pattern designer) used to make hers... and I just loved it!
So, this is kind of finished... until March when the baby is due. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl will affect what border I choose to do, in what colours. If it's a girl, I will be picking the pinks that Sandra used on hers. It's just such a pretty combination with this aqua-ish colour. If it's a boy, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking maybe white and a soft grey.
I will be sure to report back with pictures once this is finished. I can't wait to see it with a border!
I just love this pattern - I'm glad I've finally had a reason to make it!
