I completed my first baby blanket as pictured. It was a great learning exercise, as I have figured out that I bind off too tightly. So, now I know to use one needle size up in order to finish the blanket. I also learned more about weaving in the ends, and so I am less daunted by multiple skein projects. I also wonder if this is one of those items that needs to be blocked. Good questions to ask, but not so many answers I guess.
