Eight days after the kid made his appearance, I cast off the last bit of the baby blanket. Here it is in all it's log cabin-y glory...
I did a four stitch applied i-cord to the edges to give it some stability and to make the edges look a bit more finished.
It's a good lap-blanket size and I think it will go over well with the Sharks fans next hockey season. But I have lots of yarn left...guess there's no time like the present to start his big brother's Christmas sweater, huh?
Yikes - you're worried about 8 days being late? I'm usually concerned that I won't finish the baby blanket before The Kid goes off to college (or at least is no longer in need of a baby blanket).
This looks fantastic! I hope it gets loved to pieces. I'm happy to learn about the applied i-cord. What a great idea for finishing this blanket.
