When it isn't cold and icy outside, it's rainy. Winter here seems to be a lot more similar to DC than I originally anticipated. Spring will be a welcome change indeed. We got a little tease earlier this week when it went up to 57 one day. We're still waiting for our permanent housing to get sorted out (though I understand we're really close now). We're also getting closer and closer to the arrival of our household goods.
In the meantime, I've had a chance to get busy with the knitting needles. After two scarves for a warm up, I'm on to the baby blanket stage. I think that's the standard progression, isn't it?
Still a fairly basic piece of software, this one gave me a chance to practice a few new stitches. Mainly, the increase and decrease along the scalloped edge. These are critical skills if I'm ever going to make any truly wearable items. At the very least, this was one fluffy piece that was pretty fun to kit up. Giving credit where credit is due, the pattern is from Purl: http://www.purlbee.com/cuddly-cotton-baby-blanket/. I hope the recipient enjoys it!

Very loverly! Yes increases and decreases are the next step. I see you're also working with multiple colors--also an important step! Maybe next up you should look at some hat patterns. Double pointed needles are quite a milestone! The world of tubes can open up to you! And what a world it is.
