baby blankets..

Among doing many other things, both my daughter and I have been working on our baby blankets. I think she is ahead of me at this point and I think her crocheted ripple blanket is coming out way nicer than my baby block blanket. I'm not liking how this yarn is knitting up in this pattern. It's a soy blend and kind of slippery. I have also been knitting tighter then I usually do to try to keep the stitches more even looking.. I don't think I'm winning the battle. I had her look at it because I was not pleased with the outcome so far .. but she wants it because its very soft and silky and she likes the colors .. so on I knit not liking each and every row.
