Skillfully Wrought: Blanket for new baby

Skillfully Wrought

Psalm 139:15 says, "My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."(NKJV) The phrase "skillfully wrought" means "(1)to variegate, mix colours, (b)to be skilfully wrought or woven". It amazes and humbles me to know that God used such creativity to fashion each us! Not only that, but because we were created in His image we have been given that same desire and ability to be creative! What a gift!

Blanket for new baby

Pattern

Hoodie Baby Blanket by Nikol Lohr

Needles

US 9 - 5.5 mm

Yarn

Knit Picks Shine Worsted

Creme Brulee and Sailor

Started - June 16, 2010

Completed - July 11, 2010

Notes: My first baby blanket!

Casting on 122 stitches and using the Waves Cable pattern (#125) from Vogue Stitchionary 2. My gauge in pattern is 6 stitches and 6.75 rows per inch. I didn’t get enough yarn to make a blanket the size suggested so mine will be a little smaller. :( Next time I’ll remember to to check the manufacturer’s suggested gauge and adjust my yarn amounts accordingly.

Finished all knitting on July 5, our baby’s EDD. Got all ends woven in on July 11. :)

About Me

Name: Leah

Location: Hammond, New York, United States

My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 12 years. We have five precious children so far, 3 sons and 2 daughters here on earth! We are praying for many more baby blessings! My husband works with his parents on our organic dairy farm. We also raise many other farm animals and grow most of our own food. I began teaching myself to knit in August of 2007. I started with dishcloths and quickly moved on to more challenging projects. I hope to learn how to spin very soon! In mid-November of 2010 I opened an Etsy shop to sell knitting and fiber arts supplies. I'm excited to see what the future holds!
