Faded Pink Baby Blanket

 


How are all of you? Around here everything is great. I finished the little baby blanket and didn't have enough yarn to make the small size that I chose. But fear not! I just did what I could with the yarn that I did have and the blanket is still a nice little size to through over a baby carrier.

I have officially finished baby knitting for now! I will resume baby knitting and little boy knitting near the end of summer early fall. 

What are you working on this week?

    That is a sweet little blanket and the perfect size for use in the car seat or baby carrier. Do I remember correctly that you're having the shower this weekend? Enjoy!

    That is just so cute, Karen! I hope you have some "selfish" knitting plans for your summer!

    Such a pretty blanket! It will be much loved. I am working on lots of unfinished socks lately.

    The blanket is gorgeous Karen - so soft looking. I love the pale, pale pink. As everyone has already said, it looks to be the perfect size to throw over a car seat, a stroller, or whatever...or just to lay the darling girl on! Hope you are not too crazy with shower plans and details for this weekend. I am slowly knitting on a couple of things and wanting to cast on more. I'm also stitching a lot!

    The blanket turned out beautifully! I love that pattern and the color/yarn you chose is perfect. Enjoy NOT knitting on baby things for a bit!!

    I'd say you managed just fine with the yarn. I bet you knit love into every stitch.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
