I think I may have mentioned that I have a few pregnant friends due in December. I just started this blanket for one couple. I'm using the Big Bad Baby Blanket pattern from the first Stitch and Bitch book. I've made this blanket before and loved how it turned out. Instead of using Koigu's Painter's Palette yarn, I went with Koigu Kersti, a new discovery. I love this yarn. It's so soft and the colors are very pretty. It's also got a very nice hand since it's 100% merino.
