New Week

I decided last week that I needed a fast and easy project so I decided on Thursday to knit something for the baby shower I was going to on Saturday. I had bought a cute Chicago Bears out fit already as that is Dad's favorite team but I really want to make something. I needed a pattern that would work for a July baby and a wool hat or socks just didn't seem to fit. I made this instead.
Bunny Blanket Buddy

A Bunny Blanket Buddy. (I would of linked you directly to the pattern but it is from Lion Brand and you all know how weird that site is.) I used less then one skein of Sugar and Cream in what I thought was a very "bunny" color. It took one night and a little bit the next day to finish. I have to say the pattern is totally ingenious as it is knit all in one piece and the mom-to-be thought it was great. Plus it satisfied my need to complete something.

I am still working on both shawls but the one of my own design is getting a little more time then the other. Here is is quickly pinned out.
Shawl design of my own

I really love the color of the yarn and this is close but not exactly right. I was just too lazy to find better light for it. I hope to have this beginning section done tonight and then on to the de-construction of it. I have a plan how I want to do it so coming back to this will not be too hard. Stay tuned...

the bunny blanket buddy looks great, and will be well loved, I'm sure :) and that lace of yours is also looking fantastic!

The Bunny Buddy is adorable! I have to make one to bring to a friend's baby. SO cute...and, in cotton, easy care and wash, too. I love quick knits.

As for your lace, I'm loving every part...it looks like mountains at sunset.

Oh, and I got your shawl on Saturday. Thank YOU!!! I'll be blogging it asap (along with everything else I'm behind on!). It's even prettier in person and I can't wait to wear it when I visit my parents in RI for a cookout.

Happy Lace!!
