Tralee, that Santa cocoon is absolutely adorable.

 

I finished a few more baby blankets. My goal is one item per month for donation to the local pregnancy resource center. So far this year I've made four full size blankets and two premie blankets. Most of the premie blankets I make will go to this charity:

Congrats Jessica - it's so exciting isn't it? Will this be your first?

 

Very cute santa set Tralee and Cindy, those blankets are gorgeous too - everyone's been so busy!

[JessicaRenee520]

Tralee-LOVE the Santa set!

 

Gardner-You blankets are so sweet. Keep up the great pace for charity!

 

Lynz-This is our second child. We have a girl, Clare, age 17 months. It is super exciting to be able to welcome a new little one to our home. What about you? Is this one your first child or does he have older sibblings? You may have posted this already, but when is your due date? I think our are probably close, and mine is Sept. 8th.

OMG - that is gorgeous!

[Lynz]

Wow Tralee, that set is beautiful.

 

Jessica - this is our first baby and we're due 1st September so we are very close!!

 

Anyway, onto business!! This is my progress with a graphed blanket (and a copy of my pattern) I am making for my husbands cousin who has a baby girl due middle of June. They run a small holding so I have tried to include all of her animals - alpacas, sheep, pigs, chickens and their 3 dogs!

Lynz~ that is so cute! I can't wait to see it finished.

[gshall]

Lynz, that is so cute. I've never tried the graphs. Do you tie off the yard, or keep it running?

[Gardener]

Tralee, that set is just gorgeous!

 

Lynz, your afghan is going to be hit!

[JessicaRenee520]

Tralee-Love the dress set, especially how it makes a flower! (I remember admireing it earlier in the show and tell thread.)

 

Lynz- What a great idea for your cousin's baby. It looks wonderful although it looks like a tedious project. Keep on going!

[Lynz]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

Lynz, that is so cute. I've never tried the graphs. Do you tie off the yard, or keep it running?

 

I work my graphs in sc. I don't like the finish when I run other colours underneath stitches so when I change colour at each point I leave a bobbin hanging at the back off the work and pick it up again on the next row if needed. If I don't need it anymore, I cut it off and weave in the ends.

 

Lynz- What a great idea for your cousin's baby. It looks wonderful although it looks like a tedious project. Keep on going!

 

I enjoy doing these projects, they actually work up quicker than expected - the only trouble is you have to concentrate!! The only tedious part is all the weaving in of ends!! I have only made these for other people and the appreciation I get for them certainly makes all the hard work worth it
