charity blanket and coffee cozy done






Hi I crocheted this blanket for baby O wen and our new mom's gift basket at church. I used 292 yds. I thought I had one more skein in this color to make it extra big. Oh well, if I find it I can make a hat and scarf to match. I also did a coffee cup cozy for my sister. It was knit with my remnant Noro yarn from a purse I had made this summer. It only took 32 yds. (I will add it later inanother full 100 yd. item. I just wanted to get the pictures in and up on the site.) I am currentle working on a pair of socks for Katie's birthday using Regia. And I am doing my first pair of baby socks with CPY yarn!!!! THANKS CRYSTAL PALACE AND SUSAN FOR A GREAT OLYMPIC SOCKS CONTEST GIFT!!!!!!!! The Panda Soy is so pretty to work with. I am hooked on THIS YARN!!! They are for Owen and I have only 5 days to finish them! I am working both at the same time and hope to be done before he arrives. We shall see, I would never wish a new mom more days to wait for a baby just to finish a gift!

Have a great day!

Did you have a progress picture of the blanket?

Did you get the note I wrote you last night?

The first pic is the progress one. I crochet so fast that I forgot to do one earlier (32 yrs.) I hope to just knit relaxed and semi-fast one day. I wrote last night that if you could not see clearly that the skein is attached that you don't need to count it. I needed to make it for baby Owen anyway.

Ok I did not notice the skein attached. I will put this down.
