[Nfb-krafters-korner] help with yarn

[Henry Osborne]

I have made "Baby Blankets" that were large enough for a child to put on 
their youth beds or to toss over themselves while napping on the sofa.

I agree with Ramona.  Baby Blankets do not have to be a specific size unless
you are making it for a specific use.

Your yarn size should be fine.  This is why they recommend making a swatch
before starting your project.  Then you have some idea how your pattern
measures.  If you are making rows, you can shorten the rows.  If you are
making rounds, just stop when the size is what you want.  Of course, your
pattern may make both of these unworkable, but you probably get the idea.
If your work stays even, it will very likely be attractive.  One more thing,
baby blankets can be used for spreading on the floor for playing or in the
crib.  The one you made may be perfect for some purposes.  If you have not
yet wripped it out, consider giving it the way it is.

              I am trying to make a baby layett.  The pattern calls for baby
sport yarn and size f hook.  I purchased burnet baby yarn.  My "newborn"
booties will fit a two year old.  The blanket is too large, as well.  What
bran yarn should I be purchasing?

All help is appreciated.  I need to have some part of this done before a
shower on Sunday.
