It's good to have deadlines. Wedding and Baby due dates, tend to inspire me to get the job done. I chose a pattern from "The Big Book of Weaving", by Laila Lundell. I wanted something that washed well and was soft and warm. This project is woven in double weave and although it is a tedious weave, it came just in time to welcome my new nephew, Nathaniel, into this world. The other blanket went to my good friend's baby Milo, who I got to meet last weekend. I experimented with the last blanket, by stuffing the pockets with fiber fill. The effect is very interesting and in hind sight I wish I have stuffed all of it for a quilt like effect. I am not quite done with double weave and am warping a new project right now.
