Prize: too much yarn for my baby blanket!
My niece had a bouncing baby girl so now I can share pix of the baby blanket I knitted for her. She lives in Florida so I wanted a cotton yarn in sunny colors. I found this gorgeous Cascade Sierra Quatro in Color #80, a combination of buttery yellow, mint green, and rose. It's 80% Pima Cotton and 20% wool and washable. Perfect for a Sun Belt Baby!
I found this fast-knitting pattern for free here: http://www.theyarncottagefairhope.com/patterns/4ballblanket.pdf . I'm a sucker for a basketweave.
Here's the closeup of both sides, which are different from each other, but equally attractive, IMO:

Here's the whole blanket. I expanded the dimensions slightly so it would be useful a bit longer.

And here's your prize because I overbought yarn for the project: two skeins of the Cascade Sierra Quatro, color #80!

Go to my website http://www.nancyherkness.com/ and enter my contest there. Just include the word "yarn" in the comments, and I'll know to enter you in the drawing for this fiber. As a bonus, you'll be entered in my regular website contest for the silver heart pendant.
Good luck and Happy 2011!

The blanket looks lovely! I'm sure your niece will love it!
Thanks, Nicole! She seemed pretty happy with it, but she's also quite sleep-deprived at the moment. LOL!
