In my post about my stash I mentioned I was working on a project that would use up some of my stash. Well this is that project. I knitted it as a present for Corey's sister who is due to have a baby in September.
Pattern: Sunny Baby Blanket by Lucy Sinkler
Yarn: Holiday 8 ply in Navy Blue
Needles: 5mm circulars (for the length)
Date Started: 2nd July 2011
Date Ended: 18th July 2011
This project was super easy to knit. I knit a bit each night while watching tv and it took just over 2 weeks. It would be a great project for a beginner because it is just knit and purl stitches but the alternating keeps it interesting.
I used up 3 x 100g balls of this yarn from my stash. I still have 4 more balls of this yarn but I do have one more project that I want to make with this yarn. Although it will probably not even use a ball. I have also started one more knitting project last night which should be a super fast knit and will also use up a couple of balls of yarn. I want to try and knit at least a quarter of my stash before I buy any new yarn. But who knows if that will happen. Fingers crossed!!!
What a lovely project! :) I love the colour too.

Love the blanket and good luck knitting through your stash before buying more - especially as there are likely to be some good end-of-winter specials happening on wool soon enough!!
ReplyDeleteI have been knitting lots of beanies and milo vests lately and they are great for using up the odd ball of wool here and there.
It's gorgeous - I wish I could knit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blanket!! And nice use of stash yarn!
