Two of my siblings are getting married this year (YAY!) and I'm making them each afghans as wedding gifts - they helped pick the patterns, so don't worry about keeping secrets. This blanket will be for my sister, and will be knit in a white yarn that has small green, blue, copper and silver flecks in it. I'm making the ribs six stitches wide instead of three because the original blanket is baby sized and I'm making it significantly larger, so I thought wider ribs would be more appropriate. I think it's going to be quite gorgeous when it's done!
The other afghan is for my brother and will be a little more involved.
This one will actually be charcoal grey and slate blue with black skulls on it! I can't wait! This is done in strips, instead of one large piece, which will make it much more portable - perfect summer knitting!
I'm hoping to finish both of these projects quickly enough to have time to learn how to knit two socks at a time on one long circular needle - very exciting!
So stay tuned for lots of knitting posts!
