black yarn and sunshine
Finally there was a sunny day where I remembered to charge the camera and attempt to photograph the elegance of the black pinwheel blankie.
Unfortunately, there was not a day when I could do so without a white cat who loves knits.

So there was much shouting and cursing and urging Omar to call MiMi away while I attempted to take these pictures. This blanket is for a high school friend that I know wouldn't be into anything "cutesy." I can sort of respect that, although secretly I believe all babies should be wearing hats shaped like food items.
You can see the crochet edging, several rows of single crochet wrapped around some chained "nubbins."
This was just really hard to photograph.
