This is my second baby security blanket. Well actually, I made these for my boys to snuggle with as well, but they were not infants at the time. The pattern is an easy peasy shawl. It is a simple knit, knit knit. It is loopy because of the needle size I used. This one is blue & made of a cotton blend. The first infant one I made was a cream color with a brown edging. The first one, the cotton is far more softer, but that yarn I bought at yarn shop & hunted & hunted for awhile with my mom before we found exactly what I was searching for. The colors matched the nursery (earthy tones) and the yarn purposely was "green" as I know the parents are concerned about everything this very special child has contact with!
The more each of these are washed the softer they will become! Luscious!
These are 2 cute little book worms I have made. The book is a mystery regarding knitting & crocheting. Something along the lines of a "teacup" mystery. Not so sure I really enjoy the writing, but it is not a book I have to really focus on to get what is happening. Sometimes we need simplicity in our lives.
Here is a whole family of bookworms. I will give these to our PTA to sell at our annual Holiday Sale in November. Each one takes about 10 to 15 minutes to make. I used variegated yarn as I am hoping that will appeal most to elementary school aged children.
I also made some for a dear friend, (we are going to call her Bull Dog - 4 foot 3 inches tall, but jeez don't mess with anyone she cares for cause she will take you on and you will probably be surprised with the end results), who has been great company my mom for the last couple of months while Mom has been recovering from a difficult personal experience. Bull Dog has an annual Craft Fair at her place of work each year. I figured these would sell quickly because they are cute & cheap!! Bull Dog can always use some extra spending money.
Cute lil fella don't you think?
