Look at my knitting. LOOK at it!!!!!
I'm on the last color - just barely, but I'm there.
There are some little mistakes here and there, but overall, I'm pleased. I also still have to stitch in the loose ends for all of the color changes, but I thought it'd be best to go it all at the end.
Anywho, here's a pic:

    That is awesome. Wish I had time to do some fun crafting things. Not so much with a 2 y/o at home. When DS goes to bed, I plop on the couch to catch up on shows or see what fun baby things I can find online. Sigh.... maybe while I'm on leave.

    @gsancho‌ love the collage!

    @carrieharry79‌ I looovvvveeee the sheep!

    @j&d2007 the yarn is bernat baby yarn from Joanns. I'm using a P hook and the blanket is just double crochet v stiches. I used this tutorial:
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Or8kn2hQOUs

    I made mine a little wider and used 2 big balls of yarn, and 1 regular ball.

    Hooray for crafts!  I love everything.  :x

    @jessimi06 - I don't know how to crochet, but I'm still hoping that I'll find a way to learn.  Or maybe I should just work on improving my knitting right now.  Tough call.  I love the blanket and the collage.

    @gsancho - the dresser looks great, and I love the window art.  My parents live in a 200 year old house and they replaced their windows (I begged them not too, but that's another story).  Anywho, I know my mom still has some in the basement.  I'll check with her.  I'm so excited about this now.

    @carrieharry79 - the sheep are adorable.  I hope to someday move past big blocks of garter or stockinette stitch and learn how to do a pattern like that someday.  I don't know when, but someday.  Do you think the twins will want sheep blankets in college?

    AMShark The sheep blanket is actually all purl and knit, you just add in some white and then free stitch legs and a head later. From the looks of your blanket, you would have no problem with a blanket like that. :)

    @AMShark‌ That blanket is beautiful. I'm super jealous because I don't remember how to knit. A friend of mine tried to teach me a few years back, but without practice you tend to forget everything.

    My mom taught me how to knit when I was a kid, but I only ever made one scarf.  I just started again after PPROM when my SiL got me the "I taught myself to knit" book.  My sister said she learned again on YouTube.

    If you've done it before, I bet you could pick it up again through the miracle of YouTube tutorials.

    I used the book, "I taught myself to Knit" to get started, but my sister said she re-started knitting just on YouTube videos. 
    I've heard that baby caps are a great choice as a starter project.  I'm thinking of trying some myself next.

    Boo!  Sorry, I attached them with the mobile app, which isn't the best.
    I'll insert as an image below - though, I'm not sure how to control the size this way.  Let's see how TB handles this.

    Thank you.  Yours is probably lovely.  If you could see mine up close, you'd see a few dropped stitches caught late & pulled up through a row, some loose knits, a weird section in the red where it looks like maybe I doubled back on a row, and therefore have a weird "extra row thing" that's just a quarter of the width of the blanket.  I didn't see it until long after I'd passed that row, and decided to just leave it.  I'm still not entirely sure what happened there.
