Crazy About Baby!

FINALLY! It’s complete! There is nothing like the feeling of seeing a project fully finished, is there?! Toward the end I was working like mad woman to get it done! Well! Here is my completed blanket for my little boy! I’m very excited as this is OFFICIALLY his first baby blanket.

Below are the various pictures of the pieces as I worked. All the yarn used was Caron Simply Soft. Initially, I was going to sew in the letters to spell his name as well as a crochet car applique which would have all gone on the lower right hand corner. BUUUUT!!! All my color choices for the applique were terribly wrong and it all just blends in with the blanket colors. Either way, I like the simplicity of it now, and looking back, I think adding more stuff to it will be too much!

 

And lastly, behold my awesome kitty who thinks this blankie belongs to her! My fur baby has quite a bit of adjusting ahead of her in anticipation of the new baby! She loves keeping me company while I crochet (aka making it hard to do since she wants to lay on what I’m working on or attack the yarn!)

Happy Bobble Baby Blanket Part 2

I just couldn’t wait to share my progress on my fantastic little blankie! So, here it is!!!

Here is the length so far.

Up-close look at the little bobbles

I am having so much fun working on this! I absolutely love how the bobbles help to create textures and stripes along the width of the blanket.

I will surely be sad when it is all finished… But that may just be a while! I completely ran out of Berroco’s Comfort Multi Baby Yarn, so I can’t continue until I pick more up… And it’s looking like it will be more work to find than I anticipated.. None of my LYS seem to carry the Comfort brand, which means I will have to order online… Until I receive the shipment, it looks like I might just be starting another project to keep myself busy.
