Maya's Baby Blanket

This blanket definitely took a while, but I was proud of the way the pattern turned out. I thought I'd see what happened when I tried to knit and purl in a checkerboard pattern, and as you can see, it's a pretty cool effect. I like creating pattern through texture rather than colour - it's more subtle and interesting. The psychotic thing about this blanket is that I carried the white on both sides for the border so I constantly had 3 balls of wool on the go and had to detangle after each line. Nutty? Yes. Is there a better way to do it? Still unsure.
