I didn't make it with the socks for my MIL but I finished knitting the Fluffy Baby Blanket (as I named it) on the road and I weaved the ends in at the Motel, right in time for the Baby Shower!
I managed to take a photo before giving it away but I didn't think about measuring it... I can say that it was about large Bassinet size.
Anyway, the Mom-to-be was pleased with it (well, I guess she wouldn't have said otherwise anyway...) and she also liked the Baby Sweaters I gave her, especially this one.
Here are the instructions for the Fluffy Baby Blanket:
Yarn: Super Bulky Red Heart Baby Cloud. 2 balls Pink (CB), 2 balls White (CC) and 1 ball "Tutti Frutti" (CA)
Needles: 40" Circulars #13US (I used my wonderful addi TURBO that I bought a while ago to my favorite LYS)
With CA cast on 90 stitches. Do not join. Work back and forth.
Row 1-3: Knit. Cut CA.
With RS facing, join CB and K Row 1 across.
Row 2: Purl across.
Row 3: [K2tog] 3 times, *[yo, K1] 6 times, [K2tog] 6 times; repeat from * to last 12 stitches; [yo, K1] 6 times, [K2tog] 3 times.
Row 4: With WS facing, Knit across.
Rows 5-19: With RS facing, repeat Rows 1-4 one more time, then Rep Rows 1, 2 and 3 once more. Cut CB.
Wit WS facing, join CA and K 3 rows. Cut CA.
