Congratulations to Malin (from Sweden) the winner of the Coastal Knits giveaway! The random number generator selected comment 21, which was her comment- she chose the Rustling Leave Beret as her top choice for a pattern to knit from the book.Thanks to everyone for participating!!
I'll be jetting off to Bristol, England for a short family visit, but in the mean time, here is an update on the baby blanket, which I've started to call the rainbow blanket for fairly obvious reasons:
G really likes the 'wrong side', in particular:
I decided to stick with the green, and instead of mirroring the colour repeats (as the original pattern calls for), I just did a straight up repeat every 54 colours. The more colour repeats I knit, the happier I am with it.

sooo cool!
Congrats to Malin!
The blanket is perfect! I love the repeats.
Have fun in Bristol! My sister in law lives in that area. You should let me know if you are ever in Yorkshire, I think it would be funny for two Canadian knitters to meet up for tea in England :)
Well done Malin! And I love the stitches used for the blanket. If I did not know how impatient I was, I would be tempted to knit one for one of my friend who is also pregnant... You may get a chance to knit on the plane though? Have fun in Bristol!!
The blanket is very colorful. So far so good!
Ooh Bristol is my hometown! It's a fab place. Have you got some fun things planned?
Congratulations Malin!
Travel safely and have wonderful time in England.
Hugs xo
Have a great trip! Is the blanket your travel knitting?
Enjoy the trip! The blanket is looking wonderful.
Congrats to the winner -- lucky gal! Have a safe and happy trip across the pond, Julie! Your baby blanket is looking so cheerful ... it's a delight!
It will be such a beautiful blanket! Enjoy your trip!
It'll be such a cute blanket!!
The blanket looks great so far! Have fun in England!
What a fun, bright blanket. I really like that stitch pattern...one I haven't seen before!
Have fun in England!
