Baby Sets
I have been in a mad frenzy to get baby sets done. Sadly, my other commissioned projects have had to take a back seat to 2 babies that were coming, and coming soon. Equally sad, the only baby yarn I had was acrylic. Yuck. And I just couldn't justify buying new yarn. So I made baby sets out of the pound of love. They were basketweave blankies, hats, and booties. I found the hats to have way too many stitches to cast on, so I cut down the 80 to 60, and the 4 inch length on the bootie to 3 inch. I think that you could even get away to 2.5 inch. Since they both look the same, I will only post 1 pic:
Also, this weekend, I will be in Aspen, CO with my hubby celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary. I would like to take the time to say Happy Anniversary, and thank you for a marriage that has had it's ups and downs, but has never, ever been boring!
