First Baby Blanket!

My nephew is the reason I even got interested in loom knitting and other yarn crafts.  So naturally, the first thing I did on my looms was a blanket for him.  It’s rather rough, because it had to be loom knit in panels and then joined via mattress stitch.  The mattress stitch was THE DEVIL, and it seemed like it took as long to do that as it took to knit the entire blanket!!  Ugh!  I’m off to search for some sort of alternative to that darn mattress stitch…lol…I also had to stitch an i-cord that was a million feet long, and attach that around the edges.  Geez!  Probably should have picked an easier first project…

Sorry, Tre…the next one will be better, I promise!
