Hello Yarn Along friends! I haven't linked up in a couple of weeks, but I did finish the two baby blankets I was working on! And something new!
 |
baby Kylee's blanket |
You may remember they were for my best friend Tabitha's twin girls, who were born August 1st! I had made the actual blankets before I knew the gender, and just needed to add the borders. I wanted to make the borders unique, since the twins are individuals, but had made the blankets the same because, well, they're twins. :)

Kylee's border (this isn't a great picture) |
And while I made Kylee's border I went for a lacey look... and loved it. And it went so fast!
 |
baby Natalee's blanket |
And then I looked at the yarn I had left and decided to be brave... I had been invited to my friend Stephanie's baby shower in just five days, for a little girl. So I decided to go for it and make a blanket. If I finished it in time, great.

Natalee's border |
If not... well, I'd just buy something for the shower.
 |
baby Natalie's blanket! (Yep, Stephanie and Tabby both have daughters named Natalie, but Tabby's has two 'e's) |
And I finished it.... in two and a half days! I officially have a new way I'm doing baby blankets!
Now for books... I finished
The Fourth Fisherman by Kissack and
King of Glory by Bramsen. I am working on
Dual Citizens and
Stress Point. I'm also reading up on St Francis of Assisi.
What a clever idea to make the projects and do the finishing touches when you know the baby's sex.
