One of my good pals at work is about to become a grandmother. She recently commissioned my services to make an oversized baby blanket, and the shower was this past weekend.
When I realized the amount of yarn I had left over after the blanket was done, I decided to contribute a couple of gifts of my own as well.
 |
| The blanket measures 48" by 48" and the dress is sized or a newborn baby girl. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the stitch pattern on the blankie and the dress. |
 |
| I love working with this stitch, and I think I'll be making something for myself using it soon. The fabric is so soft and cozy. |
 |
| Olivia's one-of-a-kind dress. |
 |
| The granny-to-be saw the dress and blankie, and apologetically asked if I might be able to make a headband to go with it. Giggling, I told her that I had already started the process...it just wasn't done yet. |
I'm hoping to see a picture or two of the little one with her new loot when she sees fit to join us. With her family's permission, of course, I'll try to post at least one here for all to see.
