2009 - Project Dump A

I may have shown this stuff already, but I don't remember, so you get to see it again maybe.

Right before I left my former job, my boss discovered that her grandson had (foolishly at age 16) made her into a great grandma. (well future as the baby wasn't born yet) So I decided to make them a baby blanket. My second ever baby blanket, and my first ever granny square blanket. I made it with Bernat Baby Jacquards in cherry berry and berries and cream. You can see from the sample how nice they work together. well I made my blanket and it didn't really take very long at all. I had to hurry too, because I was getting close to my last day of work, the start date for my new job was June 22, and I took these pictures of the last bits of things finished on June 17.



The actual pictures are bigger than this

Project Dump B

And now, the Baby Clothes! YAY!

Right. So I said I had some yarn left. Well just look at all the stuff I got out of those two balls of yarn I had left. (don't count the blanket of course hahah I already had that) What you see here are two baby dresses (one which the pattern also said it was for a newborn but which was actually way way bigger, a pair of socks, two pairs of slippers, two diaper covers to match the little dresses and a little hat. The little round things in the plastic bag are actually the spare yarn. Usually when I give a gift is there is just a little ball left, I wind it up nice and neat and give it as well for repairs and things like that. if there is a lot, I just wind up a little ball of it though and the rest goes in my scraps. These pictures seem a little bigger. I don't think I resized them the same as the blanky.
