Recent projects

I haven't posted here in a while, but that doesn't mean that my fingers have been yarn free! I've just been lazy and haven't gotten the pictures off our camera in a while. Anyway, here are some of my latest projects.

This is my latest baby blanket I've made... currently, the recipient has not yet received the blanket, so if you know who I was making this for, please do not comment about the recipient in blog comments just yet :) This is a crochet version of a "log cabin" quilt. The yarn is Lion Brand yarn Vanna's Choice. This really has been my "go to" yarn lately. I really love it. It is very soft, and all of the colors have been created so that you can put ANY of them together and they are hues that will just work together.





Me holding the blanket for sizing perspective:




When we were spreading the blanket out on the floor, Al immediately thought the blanket was for him. Don't worry, I washed it afterwards! But, it was really funny because he just would NOT get off of it!











My first "garment". I put the quotes around it because it isn't like a sweater, but is way more complex than a scarf. This was a cape I made for my grandma for her 90th birthday. It is made with cotton yarn.

Baby Cap with matching booties... this was only my second time making booties. This time, I think I really found a good pattern.





More baby caps!
