A bit more Blanket....


I am still working on my Classic Pooh blanket. I think it is turning out realy well and am quite proud of it. As you can see it is growing quickly and the colors are good for a girl or a boy baby. We are having a girl so I may stitch some light pink and orange flowers onto it when it is finished. Possibly even crochet them.

I am using a size 3 needle and "picked apart" red heart yarn. Picking apart red heart yarn is actualy easyer then it might seem. I first roll a ball of yarn and pin the end down so there is a tail. Then I "unspin" the yarn so there are 2 strands. I will have to post a tutorial on it soon.

I am also very proud of my son Tedy. He is learning so many words now. So I have been drawing pictures for him. If anyone can think of an A word that can be drawn I would like the input. As of now I only really have a few, but I would like 25 words per book. I hope Tedy likes them as much as he has liked the random ones I have drawn for him previously.

I also have to start working on my list. I have a list of things I would like to knit and compose my own patterns for. I will post my list when I have more time to do so. Now I'm going to go knit and clean.

Knit and purl

I LOVE DISHCLOTH BLANKET STITCH!!!!!

I've made a dishcloth texture changing pad for the new baby. I just love the way they look.

I used red heart Tweed for the yarn. Size 3 needl
es. It went so fast and it feels better then moss stitch. I just increased one stitch per row from 3 to 120 stitches. Then reduced the same on the way back. So easy you can do it on the bus. I was very happy with it! And the color is great for a little girl. I am trying not to have to much pink.

I also am working on a blanket on classic pooh colors. So far it's only brown and moss green, soon it will have cream in it as well. I am still not sure if I should add some light rose color but I have been thinking
about it. Like piglet's dark pink color.

I'm just so excited to be getting a girl.
I have a lot of fears with this baby. It is my fourth and last baby. My boys seem excited but there are other factors that make the situation around this baby difficult.

No need to worry myself. There are so many factors, there is no way to know what is going to happen. That is life.
