Right now I'm working on a gift for my boss. As soon as I found out that she was pregnant I went digging through all of my knitting patterns. The moment I saw this gorgeous pattern I knew that the search was over.
This pattern was in Creative Knitting's May 2009 issue. It looked elegant enough to stand above all of the other mundane blanket patterns but not so complicated that I couldn't finish it quickly. I used Caron's Baby Soft yarn with my trusty size 8 needles.
So far I'm really enjoying the pattern. There's a simple progression that builds on itself to create the angel wing design as well as the bumpy texture. It didn't take long for me to get the repetition down so I don't have to constantly check the chart to make sure I'm doing it right. Overall I feel satisfied with my choice and I know that my boss is going to love her gift.
