Yes, it's true. Baby blanket #2 is finished and here's a shot of it--notice the majestic Wasatch in the backround :)!!
The blanket is the "Hearts and Stars" pattern from Zoe Mellor's Adorable Knits for tots. I only did 6 of the seven repeats so that the blanket is almost square. I used the "Pound of Love" yarn from Lion Brand---I know all of the fiber purists out there are cringing and possibly finding another page, but let me just say that I 've done 2 other blankets with that yarn and those blankets have held up to the constant washing a baby blanket gets(and the earlier two are over 2 years old). You also don't have many ends to weave in(unless you have an insane ball winder moment, like I did) and I had enough left to make a matching baby hat.
Now it's onto baby blanket #3!! It's an Aran blanket made with Plymouth Encore in Denim. It's the last one I'll be making for a while so I'll keep you posted as to my progress!!
Have a great week and happy knitting!!
Aloha :)

It looks fantastic!! I thought you were crazy for the sock marathon, but I had no idea of the depths of your insanity. ;) But seriously, the blanket is great, and I think that acrylic is the way to go if you actually intend the recipient to use the blanket. Congratulations on finishing it!
