Pink stroller blanket with crochet border September 23, 2010

One of my sorority sisters is having a baby next month and contacted me about making a smaller blanket, more of a car seat or stroller blanket. I found this pattern and got to work. When i finished I wasn’t entirely happy with the blanket, so I decided to add a crochet border to it that mimicked the shell curve pattern in the blanket.  I love the way it turned out. I’m getting much better at improvising with crochet instead of being stuck on doing exactly what the pattern calls for. I mailed the blanket to her when i finished and she loves it. Hopefully the little Glunt nugget when she arrives will love it too!

Gamma Phi Bear September 20, 2010

My little sister is a Gamma Phi at Auburn. Since she is a Sophomore she will be getting a little sis this year. So i decided to crochet her a teddy bear and knit it a gamma phi sweater in their colors so that she could give it to her new little once she finds out who that is going to be. The bear is crochet, which is a patter I’ve never used before and may use the next time i need to do some wedding bears. the sweater is knit and came out a little big for the bear, but I still like it. In the future if I make more of these I may just get some felt greek letters to sew onto the back instead of trying to knit them in with the brown cause that took quite some time and planning in order to do it. I hope her little loves it and maybe some other sorority girls will want to buy one for their own littles.

Hot pink wrist warmers September 12, 2010

So when ever I get in bed to knit my hands always end up freezing since my fiance likes to keep the temperature down when we go to sleep. I’m excited to have these around so that my hands won’t freeze but i’ll still be able to do my knitting! This were really quick and easy and I did it as my little project for the weekend to relax and de-stress.
