Reply #29: I saw a beautiful baby blanket in a recent knitting magazine

[yardwork]

I can't get my hands on it now but if I find it I'll post the name and issue. It was on newstands in December.

Anyway, the pattern was something they called a seed stitch in the middle, with a smoother knit around the four borders.

When my kids were babies my favorite blankets were some very simple ones that friends had crocheted in acrylic. Babies are messy. I liked the ones I could throw in the washing machine and dryer. Someone knitted me a beautiful blanket in pure white but I put that away and never used it!

My favorite, believe it or not, was a two-tone orange sherbet colored thing someone crocheted in acrylic. No matter what we did to it it always looked nice.
