My first BIG project


I finished!!! I'm so happy today. It took me less than a month to finish BBBB from Stitch'n'Bitch. I used Bernat's DenimStyle in Canvas. The yarn was VERY easy to work with. There are a few mistakes that I didn't notice until I was finished. =(. I'm hoping the recipent won't notice them either. My friend is due in May, but she is just 1 of a list of 4 of my good friends who are pregnant. The next is due in July and I'm on the hunt now for yarn!

I think I'm going to use Plymouth Encore Colorspun worsted in Cinderella. It's a peach, yellow and cream variegated yarn. I don't want to use baby colors for these blankets, but Angie just found out she's having a girl and I can't help myself. She already has 2 boys, so I have to do something girly.

Well my next project is a tank top for my Mother-in-law's birthday. I purchased Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool in Chocolate. We'll see how it goes. I've only done squares and rectangles to date. Luckily, I have Lynn who will be able to help me!
