Plucky Kit Exclusive: Saugerties Shrug

Sweet Lattice for Baby Z
I wasn't sure if I'd finish in time but Baby Z's blanket is done! Phew!

Thankfully it's completed and it looks just beautiful in Blue Sky Alpacas' Worsted Cotton in the Mediterranean colorway. I can't wait to meet my sweet lil boy and to wrap him up in his new blanket. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...
