Hubby's Toque and Scarf

My Hubby needed a toque and scarf for our cold winter this yr.

His favourite teams colours as you can tell.

The scarf is done in a basic Afghan or TSS stitch. I found the pattern for the toque online for free and just made the adjustments that were required.

This was one of his Christmas presents from us this year.

As you can tell he is not much of a model.

Blue Blanket - Baby

We have babies coming to join the family…not sure of the sex of the new ones but still getting started to welcome the new family

Not sure of all the sexes but if I make a few of each style then they will all be covered.

I am starting with one then on to the others.

This is a work in progress. But it is a start.

Here is the link to the pattern I used: Entrelac in the Round

30.1.11

The blanket is about 1/3 done at this time. I am having fun with it and it is working up like a charm.

19.2.11

At this point I am half way through the yarn that I have for this blanket so I would dare to say that I am half way done. Will need to get another colour to do the border on it. I am loving the way it is working up and how fast. I am also working on a blanket from left over worsted weight to donate to charity.

NIN Tibetan Hat

My oldest wanted a Tibetan Hat but didn’t want a standard pattern. She can be quite picky with her clothing items.

I made this up in about a day when I got the final one done.

I tried the pattern 3 times before I got it right. up to that point it wasn’t working out as the Tibetan style.

Once I got the pattern completed and given to her she wore it for a week (think she slept in it as well)

Crib Cover

Started making this after I found out that I was pregnant with number 2. We didn’t want to spoil the surprise so I made it neutral so it could still be used.

During the holidays I had forgotten it at the in-laws but was still able to complete within the time when I got it back.

Baby 2 came home in the blanket.

Granny Blanket

Did up the first blanket for my oldest. I choose colours that I knew she enjoyed, and that would go with a various of decors.

I just did basic Granny Squares, edged in the alternate colour. At the last minute I joined with an alternate colour…I was working in the colours of her team.

She has not slept a night at home without.
