Another Baby Blanket

This is really a blanket though not an afghan. Just fleece edged with crochet. But it will be nice and warm come winter. So I think I am caught up for awhile with that. Not making outfits or bonnets since it is pushing 100˚ daily. Time enough for that later. Back to the pillow cover.

The next baby afghan

The next baby blanket. This yarn is so soft! It is called "Teddy Bear" from Herrschner's.

In this close up I think you can see the strands of color. The main yarn is lavender but it has a variegated red and blue strand running through it that adds a nice interest. My only dismay with this yarn is that when it arrived the label says to dry flat! Baby yarn. Really? The catalog description just says Machine Wash. Lesson learned: if it doesn't say Machine Wash and Dry, it probably isn't!

The baby blanket in use

My number one granddaughter took this photo of me with her new cousin. Isn't she just as sweet as liquid sugar? Yeah, I am a bit prejudiced.

Oh yes, this is the baby blanket I made while I was gone.

What I did while I was gone

This is a basketweave afghan in a wonderfully deep red. It is heavy so will be nice this fall and winter but it was a bit warm in my lap in May!

This is a shopping tote I made. It was a project left from my last visit to mom's! I love having a spare project so I never run out!

I also made a baby blanket but forgot to photograph it before I gifted it. My newest granddaughter arrived a bit earlier than predicted. But she is so sweet! Yes, more baby things to come.

Purse

This is a purse I made just before I left home in April but did not have time to post it before I left.
