Yarn: Sirdar Jewelspun Ombre in Ocean Blue
Pattern: Jewelspun Ombre Baby Blanket by Sirdar
Finished: March 1, 2026
Notes: My sister-in-law had a baby, so it follows that I made a baby blanket. This was the second blanket I've made, the first being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed monstrosity that should not have been knit in the bulky weight yarn I chose for it. I didn't know any better back then.
Despite using a reasonable yarn weight for this blanket—thereby ensuring that its dimensions were not comically large—it took forever to finish. Stockinette is so boring. If I ever make another blanket (unlikely), I will choose a more interesting pattern.
Still, I was able to finish this before meeting baby. Hopefully she like the ombre despite her aunt not being a big fan.
