This is a satin bound flannel blankie made for Dave's niece's new baby boy Brady. I'd had this blue puppy fabric for some time. In fact I think I got it at SR Harris. We finally got to meet little Brady when we went to his sister's house for Easter dinner.
This is the second toddler bed blankie I made for little Erik. I really confused myself too with this one. The puppy one I'd made earlier was 2 yards by 1 yard in measurement because I had 2 yards of the puppy fabric and backed it with 2 yards of broadcloth. I guess I thought I had 4 yards of this nursery rhyme fabric and I was just going to fold it in half and bind it. Once it was done, however, it was much shorter. I only had 3 yards of it but I liked the proportions of this one much better at 1.5 yards by 1 yard. Oh well. They are both nice blankies. Lisa has been using this one on the couch at their house.
This is my new baby niece Leah in the onesie I knit out of a cotton/silk blend of sock yarn. This was the first time I'd ever done raglan sleeves on anything. Baby sweaters are such good little mini projects to learn techniques. This was knit from the bottom up. The sleeves are knit separately and then joined and knit into the body. In fact the majority of this sweater was knit in bowling allies when I'd go watch Dave at his league and the final assembly was done during a bowling tournament! I used
this pattern that I first saw on one of my
favorite crafty blogs. The crotch and neck have button closures and the buttons came from my Grandpa Maynerd's button box. :)
