b is for baby blanket
Baby blanket made with four strands of Shepherd's baby wool held together. It's interesting to see which colors work together and which don't. I was thinking of including primary colors but it looked really bad and none of the colors showed up. Anyway, this is an interesting pattern created by Knittingsmith, a wonderful yarn store in Cold Spring, NY (they don't have a website) in which you use large knitting needles (13 or 15, depending on how you want it to look) and also use your thumb. One side has this nifty basket-y look and the other side has a garter stitch sort of look, so neither is a "right" or "wrong" side. It's really textural looking and feeling.
