Something other than a swap!!

What's in my Cup: Swiss Miss Mocha Cappuccino and it's delizioso!


I have been a busy little crafter. Two of my co-workers are expecting babies (one boy, one girl) in the very near future, and there isn't anything better than a hadmade gift (in my humble opinion). So, here is what I made:


Sweet baby dress, McCall's 4351. It was pretty easy, but the size of the garment made it a little tricky to sew on the machine!


Knit baby blanket. The pattern is Newborn Baby Blanket by Altadena Green. Pattern can be found on Ravelry. I made it in Caron Simply Soft to make it easy care for baby.


The Modern Cabled Baby Bib, another pattern on Ravelry. Made in Knit Picks Comfy Worsted, color Flamingo. Sooo soft!


These gifts are for the baby boy. Not nearly as much fun to make things for boys! Still, baby Logan will look great in his handknits! Project info on my Rav project page. The item with his name is a fleece blanket. Fusible applique is how I attached his name, and I did a blanket stitch with DMC floss to finish the edges.
