baby blanket

Just found out that a good friend on the east coast is having their first baby.

Decided to do a teal and coral striped blanket since I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl. This couple seem to be the kind that would be perfectly happy in wrapping a boy or girl in pink or blue. It's soft and sweet and cuddly.

This blanket is done in a diagonal shell/basket weave style that I was shown by an aunt and I have yet to find online. Unintentionally it is also the same as Tara's Fab Blankie.

When I get the blanket done my next goal is to actually write out the pattern. I know, you are holding your breath in suspense.
