A new baby blanket design called Riabh. The name came from my weekend experience where crocheting this really calmed my nerves as my normally heterosexual kitten (no judgement here) started yowling and hitting on our 8 year old cat. Poor thing, you can see her look at us as if to say, "Did you really have to get a lesbian kitten? Is Junior not enough for me to endure?"
We were waiting another month to spay her (mistake), preferring to travel to Lapland and all over creation first. Anyway, It's a "striped" blanket and a tabby cat is "striped" and the Irish for tabby cat is "Cat Riabhach." So, it's called Riabh.
Unintentionally, it's a rainbow sorts. I should have named it the Gay Cat Pride Baby Blanket. That would have been a great marketing tool. Find it on Ravelry here.
Pretty. Fun. I love your photos, as always. The name had me thinking Ikea right away.
