Several years ago in a land not very far away at all, a couple had a baby girl. I called her Baby Mac. I made her a blanket (which took way longer than it should have, but due to my extreme abhorrence for assembly, this project managed to drag out for two years).
Then she needed a blankie to love, and hug, and keep for her very own since the first one was more heirloomy in nature.
Which brings us to present day and the birth of her little sister who we’ll call Baby Mac jr. Her baby pictures were lovely, and wouldn’t it be nice if this baby had her blanket before she turns two?! A speed blanket was started using two strands of Yarn Bee Infatuations yarn – Carnations.
I’m not a huge fan of pink, but I wanted a yarn similar to the first one but still girly and I liked the way these different pinks came together (although, these pictures don’t seem to do it justice and are making one think of Pepto).
By the time it was going into the box, I had fallen fully under the pink spell and couldn’t resist surrounding it with different shades of pink tissue. After this, I may not allow myself to say that I don’t like pink anymore. It seems I’m just a poser and really do like it after all…
I hope you like your blankie, little one!

I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.
