Yarn Along.

Finally! I have finished the blanket. About a month ago I blogged about the "almost finished" blanket. The last part I needed to do was sew a piece of fabric to the back of the blanket. Sounds easy right?! No it wasn't! It really threw me for a loop. 

I can knit, but sewing is one of things that I want to be better at. Since I am sewing on a knitted item I needed to hand stitch the fabric onto the blanket. The problem was there is extra air between the fabric and blanket so sometimes it gets lumpy. While I was so sewing, I kept telling myself no one is perfect, so just keep moving on! 

I really love that the fabric matches the yarn color. I like things to be matching, so it was huge plus to find fabric that matched! The chevron design wasn't my first choice I really wanted a floral print, but in the long run I am glad that I chose it.  

I keep the blanket on the backboard of my bed. One of the reasons why I knitted this blanket is to use it during football games and when I am reading. I need to make it a habit of bringing it out, I just don't want it to get ruined (I am trying to let go of perfection!) Anyway book related, I have been listening to Wuthering Heights, it's kind of spooky but I am enjoying it.

What are you knitting and reading?
