Wool on Sunday...

Just a short post this week...
The baby blanket I've been working on is just about finished...
I've been sorting through boxes of photos in the last week and found a pic of another baby blanket that I knitted 21 years ago for a newborn nephew. Edward's blanket used the same slipstitch pattern...
Unlike the baby blanket I'm knitting now, this one wasn't made with 'leftover yarn'; the colours were chosen so I would get a 'colour run'/colourwash. So lemon, yellows, greens, blues, purples, pinks, reds, oranges etc and I do remember how much fun it was to knit! 
Linking up once again with Rainbow Hare's Wool on Sunday.

These are both gorgeous, Maria. That is a very clever pattern. I think you could knit dozens and they would all look quite different. Congrats on your newest finish and thank you very much for linking up with Wool on Sundays! :)

You might be using leftovers - but it looks carefully planned to me. Lovely blanket.
