The other day I started knitting for the first time in months. I had been making a baby blanket for a friend, but when I tried to use a Russian join to connect the next ball of yarn, it kept slipping undone. I had given up. This time I made it longer and it finally held. So I've been continuing with that.
It's a simple stockinette, but the beauty comes from the yarn - "dragonfly" is the name, but it reminds my friend of the aurora borealis, and her baby's name is Aurora, so... :)
