Finished Afghan

I was very surprised how fast this worked up. I really like the color combinations, and hope the receiver will appreciate the work I did. It will go to my church's charity for our local hospitals.

WIP Wednesday

I am making a baby blanket, using a modified version of the "Love Birds" granny square I found on Sucrette's blog.  I need to get some lavender yarn, and probably more of the pink.  Then I will surround the six larger squares with the smaller squares in each of the variegated yarn colors.  I just started on Sunday, so this is working up pretty fast.

Hints of Spring Afghan

My latest knitted project is complete.  Knitting two afghans for babies in six months is pretty good for me.  I first started this afghan in late March, and have finished several other projects, as well as this one, since then.  The details of this project are in this post.  We will see how long my needles stay packed away this time!

A Granny Square Shawl~Updated

I finished the second granny square shawl this past week.  It consists of 40 squares of different sizes, some from my BH & G Crocheting and Knitting book, some traditional squares, some from a book of designs I found online, and some I designed myself.  This is another shawl that will be given to my Prayer Shawl Ministry at church, and will be added to the other shawl and blanket I have done with my squares from the Granny-A-Day 2012 project.  I have about 30 squares still to catch up, having made 110 squares.  Next is a baby blanket of granny squares.

Baby Ensemble

There are many people I know having babies, so I just keep making outfits and blankets for the newborns.  Someday I will be donating to the local charity again. :)

This sacque and bonnet were from a pattern in Workbasket Magazine from September 1985.  I used Gala Yarns in baby pink.  The only adjustment I made to the pattern was that I made an i-cord instead of using ribbon for the ties. The pattern included instructions for booties, but I chose not to include them.  I find that patterns like these are timeless.  I hope that the receiver is as pleased as I was making it.
