28 & 29: Blanket and Creature

With no camera still, you will have to excuse the poor image quality. But isn't too bad coming from my 2 year old phone.

A few months ago, my cousin Diana asked me to make her a blanket for her new daughter, Laura, who should come around any day now. So I made it. I finished it this weekend and made a cute little creature to go with it. This was my first blanket. The pattern can be found here. it's the Intarsia Polka-Dot Baby Blanket. It's about 40" by 40" when done. The creature pattern is the same as I used before. It can be found here.

Started blanket: July 1, 2008
Finished blanket: September 13, 2008

Started creature: September 13, 2008

17: Baby Shrug

I knit this hat to match the beret I made for Nicole a few weeks prior. There was so much yarn left over from the tiny beret, that I made her my first piece of clothing! I was surprised as to how easy it was and to how fast it finished. Now my niece can look extra cute in things I've made for her. :)

Pattern: Baby Shrug from Prima

15: Baby Beret

While in New Jersey this summer, Jayme saw a cute hat for Nicole. I told her not to buy it because I could make it. So, I did. I used this pattern. Nicole wouldn't stay still long enough for a better picture. Plus I only had my phone with.
