Notes: 

I am using different treadlings for the white area(a 2/2 twill) and the blue area (a 3/2/1/2 twill). This variation resulted in some nice texture differences and makes this blanket fun to weave! Then, to make it more interesting, I added another element by weaving twill as overshot in between the 2 blue bands.

Notes: 

This blanket uses Lily Sugar & Cream crochet yarn, woven from 12 donated skeins in a variety of colors. Each 2.5 oz skein holds 120 yards. It was quite challenging to come up with a pleasing pattern with the colors I was given. Two of my guildmates supplemented from their stash to help make sure I didn't run out. I tried to minimize the bright red. It didn't seem to fit with the other muted colors, but works nicely in a "limited" engagement. The final crib blanket should be 36" x 52", sett at 8 epi in plain weave, with a 15% take-up and shrinkage allowance. It will be donated with a handmade toy to a local organization that serves needy families.

This was my first project ever.  I made a major mistake in it - I missed a yellow stripe totally when I warped it.  I didn't notice that error for several weeks, and overall, I was pretty happy with this.
