It has taken me awhile to actually finish this blanket. I found a free pattern on another blog that I watch and it inspired me to make a baby blanket.
The Love a heart pattern, which I don't really have a clear picture of.
The Smiles
and finally The Peace
So I knitted those three patterns up using a ball of each color and added filler squares...
... and found it was too small so I decided only about a week or so before the first baby shower that I was going to add a boarder.
The baby showers were a week apart and this was how far I was the day before the second baby shower. So after three weeks.
So I sat and knitted for eight hours or more... and this is where I ended up before the baby shower...
I did finish it... it took me time but I did finish it and put it together and finally washed it. I am very very happy... and soon it will go off to be used and loved on... and spit up on. But first I will share so people can see it before the love is given.
So there you have it. After a little over two months I finished, truly finished a project. Now on to others... I am happy with it and I know that it will be loved, despite all the mistakes I know are there.

I think it came out wonderfully, the green border really was a nice choice for it it really make the rest of the blanket pop really well. I think it will be much loved as well. It was a task well challenged and a task well met.
