I'm still slowly working on my yellow blanket, but I realized that I forgot to post the pictures of what I made for my friend Melissa's shower. I think I posted all of these at some point, but I'll post them all here tonight. I love this slanted shell pattern for the blanket. I really want to make another one soon. I decided not to crochet a border around this one, but I may try a border with my next one.
Originally I made a ruffled sweater pattern to match the blanket, but Melissa didn't want to know the sex of her baby, and a ruffled sweater might be a little feminine for a boy. I used the Snuggly Wuggly yarn for this sweater. It might have been my first project with the yarn. I liked the yarn so much that I've been using it for most of my baby sweaters. I loved the little yellow buttons I found, and I wish I could remember where I got them. Hopefully I can find them again.
I think this one is my favorite. I used Caron's Simply Soft yarn, and I liked that it was a slightly bigger size than the other baby sweater patterns that I've gotten from Bella Bambina's blog. I definitely would love to make more of these.
Melissa is due in ten days. I'm hoping to try and make something else quickly once I find out the sex of the baby. Like, I could probably make a cute sweater dress in a few days if it's a girl. Not sure what I'll make if it's a boy. Maybe a blue sweater or hat. Although, I do have a pattern for a pumpkin hat I'd like to try, and it is almost fall. (I'm so excited for fall!)
