I have finished the pinwheel blanket. Specs: Bernat Baby Coordinates in the Sailor colourway (blue and white stripes), done on size 6 and 15 circulars. Basic pinwheel pattern doneon the size sizes up until there were 600 live stitches, then switched to doing a feather and fan pattern on size 15's, giving it a nice lacey, ruffled edging.
The third blanket is about half done. It is a basic granny dishcloth pattern (k, yo, k to end of row, repeat) pattern, and will either have a hood or a feather and fan edging as well. Done in same type of yarn as the pinwheel, but doubled (because omg, that was rough) on size 10.5 needles. It is progressing much faster (obviously) which is good, because the baby is due sometime within the week.
Also, because yesterday was rough I started a comfort project: my favourite pattern (Clapotis) and my favourite yarn (Patons SWS). I'm making it a bit smaller than the pattern calls for, since I'll be giving it to my cousin Christine who is quite small. It's done on size 7.5 circs, and it is kind of dense. I'm not sure if I'll get the drape that characterizes the shalw or not, but it realy does a lot to calm me down just by doing a few rows. I'm already a few patterns into the straight row section.
