The baby blanket above is one I made for a co-worker and ex-student of mine.
After finishing this blanket, I remembered why I don't make huge granny square blankets. They always twist and turn on me. I soaked this blanket in water, stretched it out and let it dry. After I laundered it and let it air dry, it still turned on me. I pinned it down and set to steam blocking it. Same thing. Sighhhhhhh. . . Hopefully after a few washes it will soften up and relax. One good thing to come from the project was I learned a new stitch--the reverse single crochet. Easy peasy to do and it adds a nice rope-like finish to the edge.
Well this is all I have time for today! Thanks for popping in!!!
