Blanket for my dad
I made this one on a whim when we were in Ontario, and moved it with us when we came here. It's made out of a really soft yarn that I love, especially since my dad has insanely sensitive skin (psoriasis), and I wanted something he could use all the time. It's in the Canucks colours from last season.
Blanket for my mom
The original plan was going to be that I would just make one blanket for both of my parents, but I realized that what would happen is that my dad would just steal it all the time, and it'd be like I gave my mom nothing. So I decided to make this one. It's in the Canucks current colours, and although I ran out of the brighter blue half-way through (since I dramatically underestimated how much yarn I would need, and the availability of fucking Walmart to order yarn in if you ran out), I'm still happy with how it turned out.
Blanket for my nephew
This baby is just about a year old now, and I finished this last summer, sending it just before he was born. It was made mostly with leftover yarn, and although it's not really traditional at all, at least as far as colours that are usually used for babies, I was really happy with it.
