Team Baby Blanket

One of my colleagues is expecting a baby in January, so our team, having a few knitters in it, has decided to make a team blanket.

The plan is simple; we've bought some wool in 5 colours that complement each other and we will attempt to knit squares of roughly the same size to sew into a blanket for the small-one.

There are various levels of skill and confidence in our group, but most people are having a go, which is really nice.  To make sizing easier as well as keeping things simple, we've opted for garter stitch. We've also got a volunteer to crochet an edge around, though I think sewing up will be a team effort from the more experienced amongst us as it doesn't seem to be a job that people are clamouring to do!

We're about two-thirds of the way through the knitting part, and here is our pile of squares on my desk at work!

I look forward to seeing the whole piece assembled, and most importantly, the look on our friend's face when we give it to her!
