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.

22-24: More Puppets

Continuing my new thing, I made some more finger puppets. The elephant, bird, and monkey. I didn't use a pattern, I kinda just followed the same idea as before and added when I thought I should. They might now be great (I don't like the elephant's trunk), but they are cute!

19-21: Finger Puppets

I don't have pictures of them all, but here is one of the three finger puppets I've made. The first two I made were a tan mouse and a black cat. I made them a while ago and I used a pattern from this place. The giraffe above, I made up based on what I learned from the previous link and what giraffes look like. I will add the pattern later.

Number 3

I believe this is my third item. This is also crocheted, turned out a bit neater than my previous attempt. I used an entire skein of super soft, awesome colored yarn and knit me one of my still-favorite scarves.
