Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star - It's finished!! Dale of Norway blanket made with Baby Ull yarn in shades of blue and yellow. Won't my (someday) grandbabies look wonderful snuggled up with me in the rocking chair wrapped in this blanket? I love the faces on the stars and moons! Just an FYI - It is Dale of Norway Booklet Nr 110
Lovingly knit in the round on size 2 needles.
The part of fair isle I like the least! Steeking. It still makes my stomach flip everytime I take a pair of scissors to a finished fair isle. I understand the concept but it just breaks my heart to cut through yarn.
I bought this gorgeous light yellow velour to line the back of Twinkle blanket (so no little fingers or toes get caught in the loops.
To the left is the backside - not bad for knitting a little more than a year!

Ooooh la la! What a gorgeous job you did! I'm in shock. I thought, "Blah, blah, baby blanket," but your baby blanket manages to mix drop-dead fabulousness with cuteness.
Size 2? You blessed woman.
