When my eldest niece was born, I wasn’t knitting yet. So she never got a blanket from me as a little one like most of the other kiddos did. When she graduated from High School and her AS degree at the same time, I wanted to knit her something special. This blanket is a color-blocked…

ZK2021/ZKN KAL, Try Something New: first time crocheting a garment! 1/8: first try, just the zauberball was too small. Bumped up the needle size…
