Kim's blanket

I finished this a couple months ago already but just realized I never posted. Have done a few hats for my new boys but I've just been all around busy and not getting much knitting accomplished! In fact I JUST turned in a whole bundle of hats to the NICU after holding onto them for 6 months........


Anyhow, here is the blanket...

Finally something to show...and NEWS...

So I finally got all my hats out to post...this is most of them...guess I had a lot of girly yarn to use up! More boys hats are being made each one of my lunch breaks!! :-)

I also have another baby blanket in the works for Kim G's nephew. About 35% complete I'd say...waiting on embroidery before I can go any further. Have not done as much as I would've liked this summer as we found out in June we're expecting baby #3......and baby #4.....2 more little men!! Exhaustion stinks but I'm not expecting it to ease up anytime soon. That being said, the nausea and exhaustion have made it darn near impossible to do much of anything. HOPEFULLY after Kim's blanket is done I can get going on 1 of 3 blankets I'd like to finish before Christmas...lofty goal I know but I'd really like to make these babies their own blankets plus one for my niece in Cali.

In case anyone is curious, all of these hats where just K3, P1. I like doing that as it gives it enough give to fit several sizes! Super easy to keep track of where you are and such when you pick it up and put it down as much as I have to!

Done w/Alissa's...

So I'm done with Alissa's blanket. I'm happy with the way it turned out :-) Hope she'll like it!

I also still have about 8+ hats for the NICU I just haven't taken pictures yet. Will do that when we get back from vacation and post...hopefully I'll have the chance to do another 2 or 3 while gone.

At last...Amy's unofficial shower

So Amy is due in about a month. Baby boy Cole (aka Bean as I call him) is almost here...it'll be Great to have another little boy in our circle of friends!! Gave Amy her blanket as well as Caelyn who got the Carebear blanket previously posted...Both seemed to like :-) It was a good night with lots of fun. Now I believe I'm doing a quilt for my niece...another picture one actually...must be done before June 3rd. Will post when complete of course.

Also in the last few months I've completed a couple adult women chemo caps. Gave those to a local charity who can put them to good use. Come to think of it, I don't believe I even took pictures of those. Also have completely another couple preemie hats. Will try and remember to take a picture to post...Just been busy busy working on various projects. I LOVE it when I finish things!!

about 36 weeks

Soooo long...

So it's been super long since the last post...been super busy with Tastefully Simple stuff as well as random other 'life' stuff. I have finished a couple things.

Caden's nap roll which was made @ the end of Dec/beginning of Jan. He absolutely LOVES it...used double sided fleece on the inside so it's sooo super soft...

Other thing I finished just this past weekend is this Carebear blanket. Made it for a friend's little girl...working on her new son's blanket now...that one is of course all monkey :)

I have some other blankets planned but I can only do one at a time... :) Will post more as I go!!
