Lacy's blanket Part 2

When I started Lacy's blanket I wasn't really sure what I wanted it to look like but then I found this picture of a blanket. I love the way the blocks are all different sizes. Now of course Lacy's blanket won't look exactly like this picture because I'm using Bernat Baby Coordinates Sweet Stripes in Strawberry and I'm doing a granny square but it will be close.

Here it is so far.

I have this block to add to this row and I can call that row complete.

Cool Caps for kids

Found this cool cap pattern and I've already started on Nikolas's. I wanted to do his first so possibly I could figure out the adjustments for Greg. Greg has a tiny head and none of the hats fit him. I'm using the striping thread by Lily's Sugar n Cream. It doesn't look like I've done much but considering I had to frog the cap 3 times, I think I have got quite a bit done. ;o I'm making the hat longer than the pattern called for at the mother's request, she likes to cover her boys' ears.

Melody Look-Alike Doll

I have never crocheted a doll or animal but I'm thinking I might have to make one or two. Over at Armina's Ami-Nals she has this FREE pattern for this one. I could leave off the bow and use colors suited for 2 of the cutest little boys in the whole wide world. ;o Go visit her blog.

Happy crocheting!

Lacy's blanket

Remember this yarn? It was bought for Lacy a shawl, then she decided she wanted a blanket instead.
So one of the things I did while waiting for Greg to make his entrance into the world last Friday was start Lacy's blanket. This is the first block of many. ;o
And this is the 2nd block.

For those of you who don't follow my quilting blog, I have a new grandson, Gregory Andrew who was born 1/30 @ 3:38 pm. I know you want to see how cute and cuddly he is.






Here is the whole little family. Notice Nikolas is trying to put his arm around his Mommy. I thought that was so sweet.

SUZIE’S RED DRESS PIN

National Wear Red Day—February 6, 2009—is a day when Americans nationwide will wear red to show their support for women's heart disease awareness. This observance promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in this life-saving awareness movement by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie, or Red Dress Pin.

Tunisian crochet

I have found so many great links to learn how to do tunisian crochet. I did a dishcloth and then I moved on to making a scarf. I think it is going to be so pretty. I scheduled these post as I knew I would be busy chasing Nikolas while his mommy is in the hospital getting baby Greg.

Granny square blanket update

Well, I have now run out of yarn on 2 projects, the shawl and the boys' granny square blanket. Lacy wants me to add some purple to this and finish it off with the navy.
