My best friend from college is getting married in September.\u00a0 Not only have I repeatedly said that I’ll help her out with whatever she needs (she lives in Ohio and the wedding is in Seattle, so there’s a lot of help needed), but at her bridal shower I might have said the words, “So…would you prefer a hand-knitted blanket, or a gift card\/something off your registry?”<\/p>\n
Being the lovely person that she is, she said, “Well, I have plenty of people who can buy me stuff, but when it comes to knitting…”<\/p>\n
I asked, “Okay, would you want something more heirloom\/traditional, or something crazy?”<\/p>\n
And she said, “Whatever you want to knit, I’ll love.”<\/p>\n
Which…wasn’t as helpful as I’m sure she intended it.<\/p>\n
So now I have to figure out what I want to knit (not easy), acquire the yarn (easy), and then somehow knit the entire thing in the next five months (depending on pattern, medium difficulty).\u00a0 I’ve got a bunch of patterns queued up on Ravelry<\/a> so that I don’t loose track of them, but I don’t know if I’m really in love with any of them.<\/p>\n Any thoughts?\u00a0 Any blankets you’ve made (or been eyeballing)?\u00a0 I seem to be leaning towards traditional with a medium difficulty level, but at this point I’m open to any and all suggestions.<\/p>\n
