cant have a baby blanket without a baby!!!

Blanket Done. Embroidery Remains

 

finished the blanket finally. I feel as if I knit as slow as molasses but honestly, it get bored with big projects. I need to do better.

So, all that is left is the embroidery. I hope to finish that quickly but I am working on another blanket for a friend too, so we shall see.

I am not happy about the pattern calling for seaming the sides after the fact. This made it very difficult to estimate how long to knit the sides and then caused me problems with seaming the edge. If I do anything like this in the future, I will knit the sides as I go.

Slow as molasses!!!

The First Part of the Turtle Blanket

wow! i didnt think it was going to be this big! I guess it makes sense, but this is going to be a HUGE blanket! Im much slower in knitting it than I should be. This one is for a friend's baby, so I really need to get on the ball w/ it. I'm so excited to see how it turns out. Its so easy to knit too. I'm using circular needles. I think I am going to get rid of all my straight needles..these are just so much easier to deal with when juggling babies and other activities and in traveling. :)

Off to start the green now!

The hat that never was

I knitted this hat for a friend's baby that was born the same day as my baby. It didn't turn out well, so im not going to send it. Im actually going to take the ears off and make it a regular hat.
