I haven't done a lot of crafting this summer. Really not a whole lot in 2012, but I feel like I am back on track and thought I would share a few things I finished up over the summer (now that we are officially into Autumn/Fall).
First up, a few baby shower items for my friend all the way in Pennsylvania!
My most favorite cloth to knit. The multi-directional cloth using the Maize & Stone Cotton Ease colorways. I wanted to do another with the colors flipped, but I ran out of Stone and could not find any on my little day adventure. The garter combined with the Cotton Ease makes it so squishy soft.
I worked up this granny corner cloth for a September KAL. I like that the colors came together okay. Originally I thought the variegated had that shade of blue in it, but it didn't. Still I love the look. I thought, while working on it that since it goes so fast and is super portable, you could easily make up a bunch and then piece them together. Of course I still have hexie's waiting to be pieced and finished!
I did it! I finally finished a blanket. This is probably best described as stroller sized (it is folded in the photo). I was aiming for receiving, but may have missed the mark. I was pretty much done increasing though and to save my sanity said it was wide enough. I used the old grandma's favorite pattern for this.
The cotton is so squishy with the garter stitch. I wish I could make a huge bed out of cotton and garter stitch. Of course I would never get out of it!
Another Milo. This is a six month size and is for Ryker. He was born on September 10th. I just mailed it off this past week. It took me a while to find a long-sleeved onesie to go with it. It is machine washable, which I know his momma will appreciate.
Now it is time to get in the spirit and get some Christmas knitting done! I can't believe that there is only one week left in September. That is crazy. I have a couple of projects planned, patterns picked and yarn on hand. Now to just get that motivation needed to get it done!
