Baby Blankets

I finally finished the crocheted blanket for the baby. It took me about three months, ripping and redoing many times. It was by far the most difficult pattern I have done, but I love the finished blanket. The pattern is from "Candy Blankies." My whole family wants one now as it is made from super soft yarn and is extremely warm. All of the children already have crocheted blankets, but Kevin has been asking for one for a long time. He went through all of my patterns and said he wants one like this, but he wants it in single crochet so it will have smaller holes, and he wants it king sized so we can both cuddle in it. I told him it would take me about two years to complete, and he says that is fine, because we will have a gorgeous blanket until we are old. It will be dark, dark blue and off-white.

The next blanket is a two sided flannel blanket with tabby ribbons sewn into it. It took me all of an hour and a half and $3.50 to make, as I got everything on sale.

Scarves

These are the four scarves I made for my kids, the blue and green scarves are the same stitch-crazy stitch. The little white scarf is a textured boucle stitch. The multi-colored one is staggered single crochet, I love the shell edging and think it adds so much.

First Baby Thing

This sweater was so fast. I made it in one week, during the time that I listen to the kids read to me.

Crochet-First pair of Socks

Here is my first pair of socks. I manipulated the pattern a lot, because I was using larger yarn, so they fit my three-year-old, who is very proud to wear them.
