I had prepared for his arrival by making this.
I am hoping he will learn to crawl on it and drag it with him when he learns to walk.
I think it will hold up well.
- Pattern: Prairie Blanket form Oat Couture
- Yarn: Tatamy Tweed from Kramer yarns, DK cotton/acrylic Machine wash and Dry!
- Needles: #6 US
I started it when I learned I would be getting a niece or nephew and finished it just in time for the shower. I enjoyed every bit of the project. I didn't think I would really like the yarn because I mostly like wool yarns but I was pleasantly surprised. I would use it again especially for baby things that will need to be washed a lot. The pattern is well written and a perfect balance of mindless with a little interest in the border. Highly recommended.
Baby E hypnotized me with his bright eyes so I just had to make him this.
- Pattern: Curly Purly Soaker
- Size: Small
- Yarn: cascade 220 superwash
- Needles: #4, #6, & #8 Us
I added the waves.
This was a quick and fun project. One day, zoom! But I would say it is an intermediate pattern. It has short rows, switches needle sizes, picks up stitches without telling you how many, and a ribbed pleat pattern that is a little un-usual.
I plan I making more of these as Little E needs them.

What a beautiful baby blanket. The tweed looks very nice.
I like how the blue part of the soakers looks likes waves. Cause it might get a little wet down there :)
Congratulations of the nephew!
I mean "congats ON the nephew".
