Perfect wrapping

I have never knit a blanket. I am, however, continually drawn to images of the amazing work of others who have done so. I just love the look of these blankets in particular. Both images are from tumblr. I don't have photo credits for both but they are equally beautiful so I very much wanted to include them here. I love the fine gauge of the first one here...and the tiny ribbing is stunning....

And I love the chunky oversized knit shown here...as well as the inky richness of the color!

Truly beautiful knit that I saw on Pinterest. Photo credit: http://quincewithsugar.tumblr.com/post/61666291576
