Another gift for my Sister In Law is the running stitch blanket by the Purl Bee. I really love the idea because its an easy blanket, but the running stitch adds a personalization to it. I also considered embroidering the baby's name on the solid side, but decided against it. I know they have decided on a name but what if she comes out a boy? Or what if they look at her and decide she looks like a "something else?" I just figured it was better not to take any chances. I know the Purl Bee did hers in all cotton, but I like the one side of fleece and one side of cotton. It makes it a little thicker, but not too thick. Since you can't really see the running stitch very well in this picture here's another one where you can see it better.
I had bought a specific green to match the green in the blanket, but could not find it for the life of me. Of course the day after I finished the blanket I found it. I'm not sure if that's how your life goes, but it sure is how mine does. Maybe it's something that gets better with age, though I doubt it. I'm still plugging away at my sister's wedding gift. Only 2 weeks left to finish it!
