WiP: blanket for my niece

Two of my brothers are fathers now (well, one is almost a father, with a baby due in January) and I decided I could make baby blankets for them. The idea that something I made in the north of Sweden will keep those little cuties warm all the way in Guatemala city makes me happy and feel like I am not so far away.

These are some pictures of Erika Knight's first blanket. I already finished the body of the blanket and I'm making the edging now. I chose a lovely deep blue thinking of how pretty it will look with my niece's black hair.

This is a picture of the blanket, knitted in garter sticth

And this is a picture of the edging, which is what I'm working on now. I wish my iPhone had taken a better picture, but I take what I can get!
