One For Nicolaus

With all the knitting and crochet going on for baby girl, I felt bad that I hadn't made anything for Nicolaus is a long time. So, last night I whipped up a little hat with some leftover organic cotton I had from when I made his coming home hat and blanket over a year ago. I hope it still fits his big head come winter.

Rainy Day Crochet

Last week's several rainy days in a row kept me in the house and since John was out of town for a conference, I busied myself with crafts. Among the things I accomplished are two hats for Carliegh. I have to say the green sun hat may be the cutest piece I have crocheted yet.

Coming Home Ensemble Complete!

Yesterday I finally finished the blanket for our baby girl! Now Carleigh's coming home ensemble is complete! I knit the hat and crocheted the blanket to match the little outfit I picked up during a Carter's sale. I am so happy with how it all turned out. She is going to be "berry" cute! (Couldn't resist)

Blankie Finished!

I finally finished the blanket for Baby Pedersen to go with the pumpkin hat. I wanted something special made by his/her mommy to wear home from the hospital. Both the blanket and the hat are organic cotton from Blue Sky Alpacas. I am so happy with how they turned out. If interested, the blanket is my own modification of the Tiramisu Blanket pattern by Alicia Paulson. The Pumkin Hat is is a pattern from Lettuce Knit that was in my Stitch-N-Bitch knitting calendar.
