Waffle baby blanket finished!!


Well to start off I finished pale yellow waffle baby blanket today!!! Yippee.........now I can allow myself to move on to my next project!

And my next project is....................the baby doll blanket I promised granddaughter Abygail. I think that I will try out a new knitting technique for me. Shadow knitting or illusion knitting. I found a pattern for a heart dishcloth here and am going to modify it into a baby doll blanket. At least that is what I am about to attempt! Doesn't have to be on a grand scale maybe 3 pattern repeats by 3 pattern repeats? Just enough for the baby doll.

I found the pattern at the site mentioned in a previous post. The finished size was 27x27 inches and I used Feza Baby yarn color# 13436 100% acylic (and so soft!) 319 yard per ball and a size US7 or 4.5 mm needle. Yes it is a KA needle and its great!


Please let me know what you think about this baby blanket pattern right down here just click on the comments and leave one :)

Progress on blankie



Am I on a roll today or what?

I am posting a progress photo of baby girl grandtwin's blankie along with a finished photo of baby boy grandtwin's blankie that was already given.

The green one is a pattern from the book Simple 1-2-3 Knitting and the

isbn-10: 1-4127-1338-2 at Amazon
It is a pretty cool book with sections for baby stuff, gifts and scarves.

The yellow pattern is called Sunny Baby Blanket by Lucie Sinkler, I think that you can also find her patterns online.

The Yellow in progress is from Waffle Blanket and I am making the 'small' size.
