It's a BABY!!!

A friend at work told me recently that she just found out that she is pregnant! But this last Sunday was her last day at work. What can I make in less than a week? This little blanket was done in two days in fact! I used two skeins of Knitpicks Cotlin yarn in Kohlrabi. Wonderful to work with and blocks great to boot! I bought four skeins to try out the yarn and I will be buying more of this! The momma loved it!

p.s. the color is closest to the knitpicks color
