Baby shower gift

FO Finally Revealed

Awhile back, I posted this pic, and said I was making a secret lil something for a friend. This here is Vanna's Choice yarn in Cranberry and Mustard.

I started this little ditty over 3 months ago, and just recently finished it, just in time for my friend's birthday. Too bad it's getting warmer around here. She (and I) are big Harry Potter fans so this was pretty fun for me to make, and fun to watch her open.

With the leftovers from the scarf, I make a quick little beanie hat (only took two days! love it). Pattern: http://firebrunette.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/single-crochet-beanie-pattern/

Fleece "Quilt"

We had some more fleece scraps and I had some nervous energy so.....another fleece blanket was born.

this one turned out better than the blue/green one I made, but somehow I love it less for it's perfectness. Weird.

It's done!

So I finally finished the pink/cream/green blankie I was working on. The finished measurements were approx. 40" x 36". It was going to be 40" x 40" but I was getting all twitchy and mean to my hubby so I figured I better quit, lol. Here's the finished blankie before weaving in ends: The mere though of doing another blankie would make me twitchy all over again, so I decided that it was time to give in and buy the second one. So sorry second twin - I promise you are not less loved, I just didn't have the time or determination to make you a blankie also. Here are the two blankies "artfully" posed:
