New blanket

My friend Sarah is having another boy.  I decided to make the new baby's blanket the same pattern as Ben's, just in a different color.  I chose Red Heart's Soft Baby Steps in Blue Earth.  I really like this yarn.  It's so nice and soft.  I'm using the Lacey Baby Blanket pattern I found on my Lion Brand Babysoft yarn skein, and it looks totally different from the last two blankets I made of the same pattern.

I think I over-bought the yarn, because I wanted to make sure I had all the same dye lot.  I can always make the baby a matching sweater and hat if that's the case.  :-)

I'll post another picture as I get further along.

It's been too long...

I haven't updated in awhile, but we've been busy house-hunting...and packing.  We didn't intend on buying a house right now, but it just kind of snowballed since we looked at a house close to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.  This is a picture of part of the backyard.  We have a gazebo and a solar green house!  How cool is that?!  Hopefully we'll be in the house before Christmas.

My friend Sarah is pregnant with her second baby, and she'll find out the sex of the baby this week.  So in between packing and the move, I'll have to find time to crochet a baby blanket.  I'll post a picture here as soon as I find the right yarn for my project and get it started...hopefully in the next week or so.
