Knitting a baby blanket

At the moment I'm knitting a baby blanket for my friend's cute baby girl! It was supposed to be a Christmas present however seeing as Christmas has just passed and I'm not even halfway done knitting it, it'll just have to be a normal present. Not that there is anything wrong with giving presents just because. In fact, I think it's almost better!

The pattern is by Caron (Brenda Lewis): Irish Eyes Baby Blanket
The yarn used is Caron Simply Soft: Victorian Rose

Here is how I'm going at the moment:

I hope that I get it done by the end of the year!

What projects are you working on at the moment? What do you think of the colour for a girl's baby blanket? I was torn between this and a light ballerina pink.
