Finished Object Friday

Ok, so, yes... It's actually SATURDAY... but by the time Blogger got it's act together it was a bit late for a Finished Object Friday post. :)

I'm really excited about this one. For one reason, I've been working on it since October 29! (Ravelry is a wonderful way to keep track of those things...) You may even remember me blogging about it last fall - it's at the bottom of this post.This is my "Hope" blanket for our (hopefully fairly soon!) to be adopted little sweetheart!

It's not super big - about 2 1/2 feet across, but perfect for a carseat blanket. And so soft! I love Cottontots yarn! This one is my favorite colorway - Confetti - which I just figured out has been discontinued! BOOOO!! anyway... back to regular programing.


It wasn't too hard of a pattern. After finishing the star in the middle, the rest was pretty much just mindless knitting - great for doing while watching a dvd! :) Here is the link to the original star pattern. I just continued with increases to make it into a blanket. Love it! :)


For those wondering, our adoption process has been rather stuck for the past few months, but we finally have a date for our first meeting - then bring on the paperwork!! :) After that, it's time for another meeting and then the homestudy - and at last more waiting. We will then be put on a list for birthmothers to choose from. Such an exciting time, and a little scary too! :) So we are "expecting" we just don't know the "due" date! :)

Now it's on to other knitting... :) So, any projects from y'all? (Even if this post is a day late...) Happy weekend, everyone!
