I needed to knit something for a baby and seeing as i'm only qualified to do flat things, i made a blanket. I found the pattern on Ravelry, but the pattern was wrong (as so many commenters pointed out) which meant i had to first figure out what was wrong and fix it before i could even start knitting it. And ofc because why do something easy, i deliberately picked a pattern that involved stitches i was unfamiliar with. So, yeah, that was fun. Took me the entire summer to knit this blanket. I gave up my plan to re-read all of the Hitchhiker's Guide books to work on it. I've told the parents-to-be that their baby better be wrapped up in this goddamned blanket every single time i saw it. They could keep it (the blanket, not the baby) stowed at the bottom of some drawer the rest of the time but it had better be out when i was there.

It's machine washable and dryable and yellow hides spit-up stains best, so you're welcome.
