Fetus’ 1st Christmas Ornament

Kristin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:00:01 +0000

I made this ornament for a pregnant friend whose mother-in-law is already buying “Baby’s 1st Christmas” things, even though the baby isn’t due until March. I found the graphic online and altered it a little bit while turning it into a usable chart.

Merry Christmas Ornament

Kristin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:59:57 +0000

I finally learned how to cross stitch so that I could make some Christmas ornaments. Here is my first one, from 101 Christmas Minis Book 2 by Holly DeFount (Leisure Arts 2535).

Robot Blanket

Kristin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:06:15 +0000

I made this Robot Blanket (based on the Robot Hat) for Owen. The yarn is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice 100% acrylic in Kelly Green (172), Espresso (127), and Beige (123). It was knit on US 9 needles. I duplicate stitched the robots on instead of knitting them in because it presents a slightly neater back with less loops for little fingers to get stuck in.
