For Nicole

Thanks to all the babies my friends are growing these days, the only thing I've had on my needles are things for them!
This blanket took me waaaay longer than I thought. Seed stitch is so deceiving. I love how it looks, but it's so slow. Once I had the main part finished, I knit up the lace edges, which my darn needles kept screwing up too and I had to redo a couple times. Of course my edge pieces were like 4 inches longer than the main piece and there was no way I was redoing those, again. So, I blocked the darn thing into submission. Nothing a little hot steam, some easy stretching, and quick sewing couldn't fix! I love how it turned out and wish my friends were having more girls so I could do another one. :)
