#coboo

Here is my attempt to block it.

I couldn't find the right pins, so I used some rust-proof needles (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I've never properly blocked anything before, so I hope it turns out well.

I read some reviews that Lion Brand Coboo stretches over time. I'm not too worried since this is a blanket. In the future, I'll avoid making any fitted garments with it to be safe.

My good friend will have a baby shower soon, and I wanted to make a baby blanket for her. I hope she likes it!

This is my first time using Lionbrand's Coboo, a mix of cotton and bamboo fibers. It's natural, light and soft. It's more expensive than my usual milk cotton yarn, but I think it is worth the price.

I had a hard time deciding which fibers to use. A quick Google search revealed that cotton, acrylic, and wool are okay for babies... I decided to use this blend since it's made of natural plant fibers. It's also not as warm as animal fibers, just right for our warm climate.

I rarely check gauges, but I did it for this project. I used 4.5 mm needles instead of 4.0 mm. I'm once again reminded that I'm such a tight knitter.

I'm excited to finish this project! This will be the first ever blanket that I'll be knitting as a gift.

The pattern can be found here:

I am hoping that posting these will encourage me to FINISH THEM

First is an Alpine stitch hat and scarf set (my design)

Second is a little waist-length shrug I have definitely mentioned before (only the shoulders are done so far) (also my design)

And last is a crop top by Alanna Miall, called The Adarna Top! I haven't done the sleeves just yet 😅

Lots of crocheting in my future lol
