A little Christmas cheer...

This year I decided to knit gifts again for my family, what with last year's successes. So I present Knitted Christmas 2008, part I:

I knit a lap blanket for my Dad.



It's based on the Ombre Alpaca Blanket from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I used Red Heart Soft Yarn (acrylic, I know, but easier to care for) in chocolate, teal, seafoam and cream. It was a relatively quick knit on US 13, but man... my hands hurt. I knit the entire thing in one week. Merry Christmas, Dad.
