I'm knitting a striped baby blanket for my soon to be born nephew, I'm hosting a Baby Shower for my sister on the 16th so want to give it her then.

It is very similar to a blanket in a famous baby store, that I love but which is £36, I'm using just left-over yarn and the odd ball I've found in my stash, so isn't costing me anything to knit.
It is all knit rows and I've worked out that if I knit 4cm per day, I will get it finished in plenty time, I've then got to sew a fabric border around the edge.
The wrong side of the blanket is actually the right side, if you know what I mean, with the wrong side you get the lovely mix of coloured stripes.
I have a little sequence going for the stripes but the colours are totally random, depending on how much I have left of certain colours.
I will put a post up when it's finished, thank you for looking, have a great week, everyone.

I love it!!! Fab colors!!
Even a scrap yarn blanket looks like the most gorgeous thing I'v ever seen when it's done by you. How do you do that? Don't you have some ugly colours in your stash like everyone else. Do you really only have the lovely stuf??? I'm soooo envious!
P.S.: Doing a garter stitch blanket myself at the moment - a rainbow one.
great colours and your sister will be really pleased with a useful beautiful hand made present x Amanda x
this is fab! Hugs Juls

Aww! This is so sweet ... A baby shower? they have them here in the UK now? Wish I'd had one ... Have a lovely week
Deb this is so awesome, garter stitch striped things are my favourite, and I know the blanket you mean - I see it everywhere and eventually found the shop!! Yours will be so much more special though as it's handmade and I think I love your colours even more!
Simply ... beautiful!
This is coming out so well, Deb!
I would like the colour pattern to this blanket
