Hailey got a bath today. She looks so cute!!!
















Another week has gone by. I started the baby sweater. Since I am using Lion Brand Pound of Love green and size 8 needles it may be closer to toddler size than baby size. Martha in LA called to say how much she liked the yellow diagonal blanket.

Knits fit for babies!



I have finished two baby blankets both in yellow Lion Brand Pound of Love. The first one is the pattern on the back of the label. It took about 12 1/2 ounces of the yarn. Since I had a little yarn left, I started the bias dish/cloth baby blanket pattern Carol Duval demonstrated on her craft show. I used size 10 needles. When there were 135 stitched on the row, I started the decrease. It is about 28 inches square and took about 8 ounces of yarn. Both blankets are destined for coworkers. Melissa lives here in Carson City so the baby afghan will be extra warm. Martha lives in LA so the single strand will be better suited to the weather.

My next project is a pair of booties in organic cotton by Bernat.
