The amazing Rainbow Baby Blanket is finished!!
Oh I love this so much and I cannot wait to wrap our new baby up come July.
The pattern is Super Easy Baby Blanket by PurlSoho.
The yarn is O-Wool Balance Organic Cotton/Merino.
Speaking of babies, I went for my midway scan and was very happy to see a happy healthy heartbeat! Baby was in a tight position and didn't really want to be disturbed. Therefore, is was too difficult to clearly see the sex of the baby.
It seems silly now, but I was very upset at first, as we have found out for each of our previous babies. I could book another scan at my own expense, but really, I'm kind of excited now! It will be a whole new experience for us.
To compensate for my initial disappointment, I ordered 2 skeins of wool - one pink and one blue - from O-Wool. I'm going to make a special little hat in each colour and set them aside for our Baby's birth day.

Congratulations! I am also expecting, our baby is due in August. We are not going to find out if it's a boy or girl, but we did with the other 2. I'm also planning a home birth!!!
ReplyDeleteArghhhh! I am sooo excited for you guys! I bet the girls are going to be the best big sisters! Congratulations!
Deletelovely, colorful and happy blanket - perfect to welcome a baby!
ReplyDeletei find your solution to the gender mystery very good: just knit two of everything, one color each :)
Beautiful! We just welcomed our third little one at the end of last year. Such an amazing time of snuggles and fun!
ReplyDeleteEchoing those above: wrapping your child in a rainbow is the perfect welcome. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just beautiful!!?
ReplyDeleteI've knitted my version for our now 8 month old and we use it every single day and just love it!
We didn't find out if boy or girl and it was the best surprise :-)
Fantastic!! I love the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blanket looks great - all ready to hug your wee one. I like being gender surprised at the end. It adds more excitement to it!
ReplyDeleteI love the blanket and it has such great colors. It will be much loved, I'm sure.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are great. You're wishing for cooler weather, and I'm wishing for warmer weather— that's how it goes, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows! That blanket is sweet. For the record, I wish we had been surprised about our children - or at least our first. We found out with all of them, and because we got so good at reading them, even if the u/s tech hadn't told us, we would have been able to tell.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!!...love the colors!
