The Blanket Lady

I am trying to get three blankets done. Two are going on a long journey to England and one is staying here.
The two that are going to England one is nearly complete and the other so close I can taste it, good thing as it leaves today.
The first one is a basket weave blanket, a really quick knit and easy to complete under pressure, my first one took less than 72 hours, I truly was under the gun. I am not sure how long the second one took but it is finished and just waiting for is trip across the pond.This blanket has been a go to blanket for a friend of mine for about 12 years, and I can see why because it is quick, easy, and is a crowd pleaser as it looks way more complicated that it actually is.

 The second one that was supposed to go to England is currently being frogged to go into the blanket that I am going to send to England. I must say that this is my new go to blanket.
This is the blanket that was frogged:

The idea of this though is amazing, it is ten stitches all the way around that are then attached to the one before. I want to finish this so bad, and yet I think something went very wrong a few rows back. This is not something to knit under a time crunch. Don't do it, give yourself lots of time. I would though like to try this as a 20 stitch instead of a 10 stitch, I think it could go a bit faster and would have a different look.
This is what it has become:

And now here it is on the only item I could find to use for blocking. It stretched out beautifully. I am so pleased with how it came out. To finish the edge and make sure it did not curl I did 5 rounds of seed stitch. So please with how this turned out and it took me around 2 days to finish, amazing record for a blanket. I think this will be my go to blanket for a quick project if necessary in the future.

The third blanket is the same as the one above, but it is being knit with a single strand of yarn, instead of a double strand, it will take a touch longer, but I think it is going to turn out beautifully and I cannot wait to pass it over.
