First off, I have to say how amazing you all are! I am so inspired by all of your incredible works of knitting art. Maybe one day I will have an amazing post of something phenomenal I've created too!

For now, Im just happy to make progress on my first baby blanket in about 20 years. Ive ripped it all out (top picture) and started again (bottom picture) and am happy with the progress I'm making. I don't know how all of you have learned to knit, but if I didnt have my mom, I would have no clue what I was doing! The times I've thought I was doing it right only for her to correct the mistakes that I wasn't able to figure out on my own. At this point Im more aware of the mistakes Ive made and am working to correct them.

Also...are baby blankets like this still a gift new parents like to recieve?? Lol
