Curl up with Comfort!

 The borders were sewn on the charming tumbler lap quilt!
I do like it with the grey at the top, too.
I will load it up on the frame and quilt it this week.
On Saturday, I did machine knit this blanket-Lena approves!
It is 48' x 56", made from Red Heart gradient yarn called Graffiti yarn.
It has folded hems on the top and bottom
and I-cord trim on the sides to help battle the curl of stockinette.  
This is the best way to power through an afghan!
It will go to a friend who is chilly while sitting in church!
Just the thing to warm her legs.

Today, I will work on some more pet beds while at quilting group.

  4. I love that blanket. I haven't seen the gradient yarn before, but love how this turned out. Such a sweet gift for your friend. I can't believe you've finished it in one day! I've been knitting on the same baby blanket since Thursday and I'm not even half done. :-)
    Blessings,
