Pastel Blanket

This is a single bed sized blanket, a Christmas present for a friend who love pastels
I'm really not so fond of these colours but since she loves them and I love her... I made it! I'm happy with the results in the end but am not keen to work with pastels any time soon

baby blankets

This blue one is suppose to be Rachie's baby blanket, but it's turning out way longer then I realised so think I may end up turning it into an adult blanket??
This pink baby ripple hasn't worked out so well :( it keeped growing at the ends and has a funny shape now, not sure what I am going to do with it!
