Andrew's Blue Mushroom and Block

Popular posts from this blog

It has been some time since I have been able to post anything. Nursing school has really taken up most of my life. The last time I picked up a project to knit was about two years ago when I made a blanket for my newborn niece. Time has gone by and as I wait for my authorization to test for my boards, I think it is time to pick up some unfinished projects. I need to calm my brain from all the waiting and waiting to test. I want to start practicing in a hospital and help the people who need my skills. But everything takes time. So while I wait I will knit.

Amanda's baby layette set

I made this layette set for my friend Amanda's first baby girl. The pattern is called pretty feathers and fans from leisure arts, Our best knit afghans. I used a velvet ribbon to complement the baby coordinates yarn. I love the feel of this yarn so soft and cuddly. the buttons are little pink roses. I wish I would have gotten a close up of them ;). I might use them again on the next baby girl project in the works ;).

HoneyComb Baby Blanket

This is a honeycomb pattern blanket for a baby boy due in December. The yarn is Bernat Baby Coordinates on a size 9 Circular. I loved the feel of the yarn. The pattern called for a knit border but instead of stressing over trying to pick up all of those stitches I used a double crochet border instead. I liked the way it came out :).
