First Official FO for 2006

i finally finished a baby blanket i started last spring.  when i started the kid had 3 months left in the womb.  she's now about 8 months old.  still under a year, that's well within the window.  right?

anyway, i adapted the building block pattern from 100 afghan squares to knit by making the blanket smaller and by going monochromatic.  when i started we didn't know if she was a boy or a girl and from what i know of her parents, a less obvious baby color was the way to go.

TA-DAAAAAA

sorry it looks a little wonky, but i didn't have much time this morning when i took pictures.

i brought my camera into work this morning and stopped to get this shot. 

a seagull perched atop the head of one of the statues in front of the boston public library.  i sometimes forget how close we are to the ocean.
