I just finished knitting a baby blanket and hat for a friend's first grandbaby. I knitted it on the knitting board. It was easy to do, and came out beautiful. I love the texture.
The photo below in the photo section, entitled "Ready For Winter" shows a fraction of the many scarf and hat sets I have knitted (double knit) on my knitting board while staying cool indoors during the last two months of Summer here in the Arizona desert. I made 22 sets of matching scarves and hats, and over two dozen hats without scarves, and now working on a baby hat and blanket set.
