Red Grey White Baby Blanket

Toni at church announced in February that she was a new grandmother. She is much too young looking and in shape to be a grandmother (but then so is Arlene)! I told her I could make her a baby blanket for her granddaughter, and brought in the pink white grey one to show her, and some other colors. She loved the pink, but said the accessories were in red. So I recreated the blanket substituting Lion Brand's Covered Bridge Red for the Boston Rose. I love it!

I gave her the blanket today, March 2, 2008.

It has only one small deviation in symmetry...
(but only a mathematical mind overly considered with order will likely catch it)

Pink Grey White Baby Blanket

This blanket was started November 11, 2007, at a art meeting. I needed something to do with my hands. It was finished in time for the GCVV Crafts Fair in December, but it was not until February 18? 2008, that it found its rightful home with Nikos's little daughter, Anais...

Here's the recipe:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This was made with a combination of the following: Lion Brand’s Homespun Hepplewhite / Metropolis / Black / Boston Rose

With size K hook, chain 85 + 2 more to turn. Double crochet for ~ 66 rows or to desired length

6 white
2 grey
4 pink
4 black
4 pink
2 grey
6 white
10 grey -- 5 is halfway
6 white
2 grey
4 pink
4 black
4 pink
2 grey
6 white

That's it!!! 66 rows

Now where in the world did I come up with the idea of pink, white and black together?

Yellow Green Red Baby Blanket

OK, this one was also created for the GCVV Crafts Fair in December 2007. I have a surplus of Lion Brand's Homespun in Sunshine State, that La Beth bought for me years ago at an incredible price of $2 or $3 a skein. Of which I haven't been able to use up.


I thought the colors of Africa would go well together. These are Sunshine State, Florida Keys Green, Coral Gables, with a touch of Olive for accent:

Yellow Blue Baby Blanket

And the last post of the night: the Lion Brand Homespun Sunshine State and Williamsburg baby blanket.

I was attempting to finish this one for the GCVV Crafts Fair in December 2007, but I only got halfway. I ended up finishing it in January 2008:

Maroon and Pink Baby Blanket for Kaylee!

This blanket was created in maroon and pink especially for Paula's little girl, Kaylee. Kaylee just turned one the other week (Feb 23), and I was able to start and finish it and mail it just before Christmas 2007.


The challenge for me was using maroon (Lion Brand's Antique, Boston Rose, Cotton Candy and of course Hepplewhite), together. It actually turned out pretty nice, and here it is photographed in an office at work!
