Yarn Along

I am so proud to share the progress 
I have made on the baby blanket I am working on.

The Chevron Baby Blanketthis pattern is free on Ravelry

Here's a close up look at the stitches and the colors.
I am more than 3/4's of the way finished
 and I am honestly thrilled with the colors and the look of the blanket.

I started this blanket at least 8 times, 
and had to keep ripping it out, I just couldn't "get" it.
I think when you start a new project,
it is difficult to imagine - picture - feel what you are doing.
Once you feel it, you get it.
Now, this is such an easy knit and I am enjoying it so much.
I have memorized the easy pattern and I don't have to look at it anymore.
When I make a mistake, I can feel it and correct it right away.

You may remember that I almost gave up...
that my knitting teacher, Leanne, helped and encouraged me...
I am so glad I believed in myself...or that I am very stubborn,
I think it is the latter!

It is looking fabulous, glad you stuck with it and got the help to figure it out, it's nice when you can just go to it and don't have to follow a pattern!
