Wool Leaves in Sweet Pea, Burrow Bulky

Jared Flood's Wool Leaves Pattern
The baby blanket is coming along nicely.    This pattern is really very simple....once a few repeats are done.   It is challenging enough to be interesting but simple enough to do while watching television.

The yarn is Willow Yarn's Burrow Bulky.    The color arrived far more "peachy" than I wanted.   It is, however, cheerful and bright and good for a little girl.

I am hoping that with washing the blanket flattens out.  I may wash it in Soak in my wool washing tub and let it dry flat instead of running it through the washer.   That worked well for the little roses cardigan.    The reverse side of this is reall bumpy.

I really like the stitch detail.  Once this washes up and I like

the result, I am likely to use the same pattern, the same yarn in a "natural" color, to make a wedding present for my middle nephew.
I will size it up and make it, of course much longer.
