"Barbie" Oddball Shawl

Here's my part of an Oddball Shawl going around KnittingHelp.com. I used Caron Simply Soft in Soft Pink.

Cushy Baby Blanket

Pattern: Cushy Baby Blanket
Yarn: Lion Brand Homespun in Cotton Candy - 1.5 skeins, Bernat Baby Coordinates in Baby Pink - 0.75 skeins, Bernat Baby Coordinates in Lemon Custard = 0.75 skeins.
Needles: Size 19
Alterations: none.
Final measurments: 30" x 30"
Knit for: Greg & Suzie's baby - Laura (due in March)
Time spent knitting: A few hours.

Ruffled Blocks is Done!

Pattern: Ruffled Blocks Baby Blanket

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Off White, 2 skeins. Caron Simply Soft in Soft Pink, 1.5 skeins.

Needles: Size 8

Alterations: I used a worsted yarn single-stranded rather than dk doubled. I did 4 less repeats of the 14 rows in pattern. For the ruffle, I also used worsted yarn single-stranded rather than dk singled - because of this, I only needed approx 168 ruffles.

Final measurments: 32" x 36"

Time spent knitting: On and off for 3 months - working on the blanket and ruffle simultaneously.

Changes I’d make next time: I would keep my alterations in yarn weight. I would also add one or two more repeats width-wise to make it a little larger.

Ruffled Blocks is Almost Complete

I only have one more side of ruffles left! I have to knit it then finish attaching, but three sides are complete!
