I'm a bad blogger!
Ok, now that I have some actual knitting to speak of I can catch up on this blog. The past few months have been filled with knitting this Homespun blanket for David's cousin, whose baby is due next month. I did it in the cream color as it is neutral and also looks very natural. I had some trouble with it at first but now I love the pattern so much I bought the yarn to do another one for Zoe. It's knitted using 3 skeins of Homespun and size 11 needles.
I have another friend who has a little girl on the way and I wanted to do something fun with the loom. I love making little baby hats but was getting tired of the same old same old. This is a pattern I found at Decor Accents, Inc. I did a prototype and I think it came out nicely. I also love the chunky braid stitch and it's the answer I've been looking for to cuff my hats better.
I think I'm going to sew some artsy buttons at the top to finish it off. I'll take final pictures when the product is complete.
