Too many projects

I often have more than one project going at a time, but at the moment, I have four - yes, FOUR - scarves going, and I started a blanket yesterday.  As much as I hate to put my lace scarf and corkscrew scarf in time out, I'm going to focus my energies on one particular scarf - a royal blue ribbed scarf, for a friend - and the blanket, a soft pink number for a dear friend who's expecting a certain special young lady to arrive in the next couple of months.

I love knitting baby blankets, at least I do at this time of year.  I have a pattern that I LOVE, that works up quickly, due to large needles and a double strand of yarn, and is soft and cozy and WARM.  The blog background photo is of one the blankets I made from that pattern; here are a couple of them:

As much as I love the pattern, it seems like a heavy blanket for a springtime baby, so I'm working on a different pattern, with a lighter yarn, for this blanket.  So far, I love it.  No sneak peeks - I have a feeling a certain mommy might see it!
