Big Bad Baby Blanket

Kristin — Tue, 20 May 2008 23:02:02 +0000

I made the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Stitch ‘N Bitch for Julia’s new baby to be born in June. The yarn is Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino 100% merino wool in colorway #P436. I had 4 skeins each of 2 different dyelots so since the pattern called for holding 2 strands together throughout, I just held one of each dyelot. It was knit on US 9 needles.

Gators

Kristin — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:44:30 +0000

These gators were very simple to make, just 20″ squares of fleece and 3 lines of sewing. I’m sending a couple to my soldiers from Hugs From Home and the rest to the Gator Project.

Kristin — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 03:50:24 +0000

I made the Umbilical Cord Hat from Stitch ‘N Bitch and two onesies for my friend Scott’s baby, due in January.

The onesies have Little Beeper (the baby Road Runner from Tiny Toons) for his Plymouth Road Runner, and the Mopar symbol for Chrysler auto parts.

Satin-Edged Blanket

Kristin — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:03:41 +0000

I made the Satin-Edged Blanket from Knitting for Two for a former professor’s baby, due in December. The yarn is Lion Brand Homespun 98% acrylic / 2% polyester in Candy Apple (375). I used US 15 and US 19 needles. I embroidered the Chinese character for luck in one corner. The ribbon was actually 4″ wide instead of 2″ like the pattern called for.
