Log Cabin Knitting

This project was done by dd#1. It had been on the needles for some time. But now it is finished and has been given as a birthday gift to a friend who wanted a small lap blanket for in the car. Gotta love winter!

She made it out of Simply Soft yarn. Needle size was 7's or 8's.

The pattern is from the Mason Dixon knitting book (the first one).

Baby Shower

This cute little Baby Feet cloth was adorable hanging on the outside of the baby shower gift bag. That was my job. I used Omega Sinfonia which is a sport weight cotton and size 7 needles. The pattern is quick and easy.








And the gift hiding in the bag was a snuggle sized (or car seat) blanket knit by dd#1. She was going to do the Multidirectional Diagonal pattern but at the half way point decided to finish with Grandma's Favorite cloth (without the eyelets on the edge). We were a spidget short on the green but we did a little fudging that was not noticeable (to most anyway).

The yarn is Cascade 220 100% Superwash wool. One skein of blue and one of green. She used size 8 needles.

P.S. One more Christmas gift off the needles tonight! Woohoo! No details until after Christmas...shhh!!!!

Also with Tess' Designer yarns

Here's a baby snuggle size blanket (or for in the car). It's knit with the Superwash Merino. Very soft yarn! It measured about 32" on the diagonal.


And I knit up some baby socks with the matching Super Sock yarn. One regular pair and one spiral pair for a longer fit. (The smaller pair didn't fit so I'll crochet a chain and they'll become a Baby's First Christmas ornament.)

Oh and a hat made from Snuggly Bubbly! My dh insisted on that yarn. It is also very soft. These were all done in Jan 2006.

The first picture shows the bands I made to wrap around each item with the care information, etc..

The new parents were thrilled!
