I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am that this thing is finished! I don't know how many times I threatend to frog this thing.. In all fairness, its a beautiful pattern, its just not something you should knit while battling insomnia! I ended up using much less yarn than I thought I would. This is a nice pattern for a new lace knitter. It knits up easily, and casts off quite nicely. Knit over many sleepless nights and countless cups of tea.

This knitted up rather quickly! I was surprised at how easy and fun the pattern was. The woman I made this set for asked for a knitted toy to go along with it, so I winged it. No pattern used for the doll.

Finally posting pictures of the blocked and finished baby blanket! I am really sad to have actually finished it.. as many problems as this simple little blanket gave me... I really enjoyed knitting it. I found the cutest baby layette that actually matches the blanket perfectly that I am going to knit at a later date. :)
