Just Under the Wire!!!!

 I found out the blanket could still be entered until midnight on Friday!!!

Guess what I managed to knit?!
Blanket Contest, here I come!

 The blanket is 22" x 32", only 3 ounces of yarn was used!  

 I darkened the photo so you could more easily see the pattern stitches;
  the is the purl side considered the 'right' side when using tuck stitch.

See how fine the yarn is?!!!!
 I used a size d crochet hook to knit 2 rows around the blanket for an edging,

 one of double crochet and one of single crochet.

I tried to lay it down on the floor for a photo but I couldn't keep Lena off it!

I submitted the blanket at 11:30 last night--it was really under the wire!

Contest Pressure!

 When I'm not at a doctor's, 

I have been working on the baby blanket challenge;

a contest from Knit It Now.

This is my second attempt, if you remember!

 This time it's going perfectly,

I really learned a LOT about a lot of areas!

The pattern calls for knitting 4 pieces and seaming them to finish.

I didn't want to do that so I worked out a sew-as-you-go construction!

 It is working out so nicely!  

And if practice makes perfect,

I'm near the perfect mark!

Just wait until this is lightly blocked-

I have to have it done today!

Here's hoping....
