A soon to be finished baby blanket

Soon to be finished baby blanket
Originally uploaded by sibtigre2.

This is a baby blanket I'm knitting for the daughter of a friend (not the same one the hat was made for). The yarn is Lion Brands Pound of Love in pink and I'm using size 10 1/2 bamboo needles. The pattern is here: Wavy Boxes Afghan.

I'm making this at the request of E (my friend). I gave E a handknitted baby blanket when she was pregnant with A (her youngest). Well, A loves it and sleeps with it all the time. (I love it when my gifts get used!). E's oldest daughter, S, really liked it too, so E asked me if I would make another one in pink - which I, of course, agreed to do.

I'm only 4-5 pattern repeats from being done. Then it's just a matter of weaving in the ends, washing it and giving it to E! :)
