09/28/2015 Cannot wait to start this-going to Vogue Knitting Live Chicago this weekend hopefully I can get a good start on this with the gobs of free knitting time I should have over 2 days. 3rd try on this blanket, I hope three is a charm..

10/14/2015-oh no just starting 20th row and needs to be done and blocked and ready to go on Sunday morning. Yikes!!!

Made a mistake in the middle row, missed one of the yarn over sections in the middle and knit it instead. not too obvious and hopefully won’t be too obvious when it is complete.

did not finish for baby shower so it will be sent for birth of baby girl in December/January?

Finally finished knitting, but it is suggested that you do a sewn bind off so I plan on doing that tonight weaving in ends and blocking tonight or tomorrow…-I have two other projects that I am using kichener stitch to finish. What is the matter with me???
Hopefully will be sent out to baby Ava next week..will add some final photos before I pack it up and send it out.

Sewn bind off finished, I like how it looks, so easy to do too.

03/19/2016- so excited gift sent and received and photo of baby Ava wrapped in the luxury of Madtosh Vintage added to Ravelry. My heart is happy.
