I finished my diagonal baby blanket this weekend. I just have to weave in the ends and I can add one more thing to my "complete" pile.Even with the whole issue with my yarns being different colors in the same dye lot, I still like the result. It's like my blanket has racing stripes or something. Ha! All three skeins that I used are different colors (the label lies!), but luckily the first and the third are close enough in shading that it looks like I planned the mistake.
Finished Specs:
Diagonal Baby Blanket Pattern - Free
Size 11 Circulars - already purchased
3 Skeins Lionbrand Homespun (Fuschia) - on sale for $6 total
Total Time - about 10 days of knitting during my breaks at work and between classes
Updated Summer Knitting Goals:
- 1 not-yet-started baby blanket (pattern to be determined)
- Finish up moderne baby blanket
- 4-5 UT Dishcloths for silent auctions that are going on back home
- At least another 8 garter stitch squares for the Rebuilding Greensburg Project
- At least another 10 baby hats for my church's Warm Embrace ministry
- An unnamed gift for a friend. (Details can't be listed for obvious reasons!)

Looks good. Looks exactly like you did it on purpose, in fact. I would have never guessed a commercial yarn could be that different in the same dye lot. Some baby somewhere is very lucky.
I think the blanket looks great. You would never know that it was wasn't supposed to be like that. :)
The blanket is beautiful despite the problem with the dye lots.
wow, you finished that in 10 days?? looks great, despite the 'racing stripes' in the Homespun. i'm pretty sure mine took me a month :D
