| Hexagonal Hoodie Blanket |
Yesterday I was over on Ravelry inputting some of the projects I have completed in the last two months and commented to another knitter on one of HER projects. Something to the effect of how do people find time to both be creative and complete many projects, then get on the computer and tippy-tap about them, take photos and share them with like-minded individuals. So, in keeping with the brevity of my previous posts, I will get right to some pictures of my latest creations. Most of these are made directly of patterns from Tricia Drake's book Welcoming Home Baby the Handcrafted Way. The yarns are all substitutions, as I have only found one of the yarns mentioned in the book and did not use it in a project shown here. If you want to see the particulars, you may find them on my projects (Boopster13) on Ravelry. If you go to the link, you have to join or sign in. The upside is, you will be able to find all my other projects there - at least the ones I have had time to add. Now I know what my mom meant when she said, "tend to your knitting." Bless her heart - I miss you, Mom.
