Law & Order Addiction



There is no way this kid is getting away without a Law & Order Blanket. I designed the first one last year--as a wedding gift for my best friend. And I suppose Cupcake should also have one. And hey--there is no scope for any complaining. There is no scope for anybody disagreeing with Law & Order TV addiction.



I came across Berreco Comfort by chance--at a big sale at Skein Attraction. In my on-going simultaneous effort of destashing and cost-cutting, this was a good buy. The yarn is 100% acyclic and has a super luxurious feel. And bonus--I got skeins in Suketu's favorite colors--brown and orange. I was concerned that it might pile, but the (over handled) sample knit at the store showed no such sign.

And yes, before you ask, I promise that I working on writing up the pattern.





Pattern: My own
Yarn: Berreco Comfort (four skeins)
Hook: 5mm
Size: 32 inches * 32 inches

I am crazy about this blanket ooo and the colors. I like adult colors as well. This way cupcake can have this blanket for a very long time. It will break your heart, but cupcake will at somepoint not want anything that might seem like it was meant for a baby deep sigh;) and the sweater and hat...adorable. I love the way you use color.
