I'm starting this topic but forgive me if it's already here. I couldn't find it. :{
I love to see what others have done, giving me inspiration and ideas especially about color combinations. I seem to be color challenged! Yep, beige on beige seems to be my favorite.
Here's a little baby blanket I recently did. I found the granny pattern on youtube by Marinella marfu6A (sorry I can't find the link but she has lots of patterns on youtube). I wanted to use up some leftovers of some #3 DK weight yarn and this pattern helped. It really reduced my bits and pieces. I used the baby yellow color to tie it all together as well as to join the squares.
The join I used was Lyza Walters (youtube) She doesn't speak but her video is very clear. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/229754018479914771/
I liked this pattern because I don't like holes or a lacy look for babies or children. I'm a worry wort I guess and I think of those tiny fingers getting caught up in a blanket. This made a pretty solid piece of fabric so I was happy with it.
My preferred method of joining is to join strips first and then join the strips to each other. I really like this join because it makes the back look good too and once you get the hang of it (rhythm) it goes pretty quickly. It's a good solid join for a blanket that may be handled a bit roughly, like a child might.
Here is the front, the back and a close-up. The border is a simple DC all the way around. It is being donated to a Native American Tribe which is where most of my knitting and crocheting goes these days.
I hope that others will share their work with us here in this one spot.
