A quickie blanket

I wanted to make a baby blanket for someone who just had a baby and I dreaded knitting one.  So I pulled out my Silver Reed Knitting machine and I knit one up quick.  It only takes about a hour or so to make a baby blanket.  Took me a hour total over many days because my breaks are days long haha.  I just have to block (and yes you can block acrylic) it out.  The only issue with the flat bed knitting machines is that they curl quite a bit. I have read of a few ways to prevent it, but blocking works for me just as well.  Then I will crochet a shell edging.  When I have done that I will post a pic of the finished blanket.
