I finally bound off Sarah's blanket! I had to wait until she gave birth to find out it was a boy, so I continued with the blue yarn.
I did a few inches of garter st for a border which made the blanket 39" in diameter - a little bigger than I had planned, but with the bouncing baby boy weighing in at 8lbs 14oz, a little extra is ok.

Pattern: Pinwheel Blanket
Yarn: Bernat Baby Boucle in Spring Breeze, 5 skeins (one for the border alone).
Needles: Size 8 circs - I started with 5 DPNs, switched to 29″ and finally a 47″ circ.
Border: Garter stitch, increasing on the purl side with pfb.
Final measurments: about 39″ diameter
Knit for: Sarah's baby - Chase (born on Aug 11)
Time spent knitting: On and off for 2 months. On and off for a week to finish the border and bind off.
Changes I’d make next time: I love the way this one turned out, and o love the boucle yarn for it even though it poses its own challenges. I'll definately stick with size 8 needles for this project especially since I purchased 47" for this.
