bump's favorite place


bump is 13 years old. he's really fading out and getting to look like an old man but is still active and fun and gorgeous, just not combed but he's happy lying on the table beside where i knit

finished yellow blanket folded


this beautiful yellow blanket is adapted from a sirdar pattern. i have sewn pink rosettes onto it because my niece actually wanted the previously spoken for pink lace blanket. this blanket is knitted bottom up, then turned sideways when put together. i increased the border by stitches so it didn't looked skimped on. i totally enjoyed knitting this blanket. i have purposely made it heirloom quality with hand knit tag and all. i would LOVE to keep it for myself.

finished yellow blanket laid out

this elegant yellow blanket is adapted from a purchaseable sirdar pattern for a pram blanket. i knitted it for my niece for a first great grandchild on her husband's side of the family. #7's, plymouth dream baby.
