WOYWW 151 -- Baby Blankets!

Happy Hump Day!   Yep, once again, time to link up with Julia at Stamping Ground where it all begins.  This is a best day of the week for blog hopping.

I went to two baby showers on Saturday.  One blanket down and one about a third of the way done.   Here's a photo of the mom-to-be  with her blanket.  It was a big hit.  Isn't she too cute!
In the evenings I've been knitting on the second baby blanket.  This one is kind of a plain jane -- knit every row with size 10 needles.  I got smart!!!  This one isn't taking nearly as long!!!   I'll be done before the baby comes.
My workdesk at the moment
The photo is kind of dark.
Thanks for stopping by.    I will try to visit everyone that visits me and then those that have the same ending number.   Please leave your number with your comment - that way I can find you! 


I hope the rest of your week is full of craftiness!


Peace,
Kay

You look blooming, if you don't mind me saying and I love your workspace, very appropriate at the moment. Love the blue blanket especially. Take care, Happy WOYWW from Anne #61

I'm glad the bag arrived ok and, more importantly, that you like it!!

Gosh, seeing that baby blanket took me back - we used ours to snuggle, on the floor for our boys to have a kick around, it later became part of the dressing up box...I shed a few tears when it finally bit the dust... I hope the young mum pictured gets as much joy out of hers :)

Hugs, LLJ #33 xx

Knitting is so not my thing. I've been taught three times now but it just doesn't stick in my brain!

I would love to learn to knit...just don't have time. A lovely gift for a friend! Happy WOYWW #159

Connie said...

Hi Kay, I love your new studio, looks mighty comfortable. It sure saves time when you're not counting stitches and changing needles. For me it saves a lot of unraveling and starting over, too. Say, Like I'm always reminding my blogging friends, I'm an old dog learning new tricks, I didn't know what you meant by the number thing . . . then I noticed your other comments and the reference to woyww so I think I've figured out that I am #151, but I have no idea what this is or how it helps you??????????? Looking forward to your answer . . . I'm always eager to learn something new. Your blogging friend, Connie :)

jill said...

your chair looks so comfy just right for knitting. happy crafting jill #62

SandeeNC said...

Kay, that chair looks like a wonderful work space! your baby blankets are just too darn cute! Are you going to try and hook up my Project Pinterest? I kept looking for it last week, don't mean to bugger you about it...lol..well, yeah actually I do but it sounded nicer to say I wasn't, ;) Anyway, new link up starts on Thrusday! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina #139

Hey Connie,

I ask for people to leave the number they are on Julia's blog so that I can find them. I really try hard to visit everyone that visits me, and the people that their number ends in the same number as me (this time 4 as I'm 144). Then I go to as many other blogs as time permits. I hope this answers your question. I'm somewhat of a newbie too. I started blogging in August but haven't really explored blogger.... then they changed it on me and I just about freaked out last night!

Looking forward to checking out your blog to see what you've been up to!

Hugs,
Kay

Anne-marie said...

okienurse said...

I think I messed up on the last comment and don't know if it got to you or not! ANYway! My sister crochets blankets for babies and she just finished one in the camoflage green yarn that makes a really cute baby blanket. I think yours is looking good too! We will have to set up a play date some day and skype and create together. Too bad it is a 10 hour trip to Albuquerque or we could do it in real time! Have a great week and thanks for commenting on my blog! Vickie #41

Amy E said...

What beautiful blankets!! I bet the mom-to-be was SO HAPPY with hers! There's nothing you can buy for a new mommy that's better than a homemade blanket!

Thanks for taking a peek at my crafty space! I love it and all the mess too! Haha!!

Pretty blankets! They look so soft, especially that second one. Great workdesk, looks comfy. I'd be afraid to work there though. I'd be snoring in no time.

Super blankets, and mom-to-be looks blooming! Take care, am still working my way through the list, doing so in stints and making sure I have snacks to munch! Zo xx 77

Elizabeth said...

Hello Kay, Making baby blankets is very much the thing at the moment it would seem :) Yours are beautiful and your knitting them ... I'd never finish one before the baby was born if I were to knit it, crocheting is much quicker. Love the colours you've chosen too. Thanks for popping by and leaving your comment on my desk ... yours looks a lot more comfortable than mine right now :) Hope you have a lovely creative week. Elizabeth x #113

SusanLotus said...

A great blanket to keep the baby warm. :)
Hope you are enjoying your week!

Hey look at you busy lady, I don't know how I missed your desk this week, so sorry.

Just popping back now for a proper read.

There is nothing like a beautiful knitted blanket to keep you warm, and having one made specially for you is even better. You are a special kind of person putting all that love into each and every stich, lucky baby and expectant mum. Thanks for sharing.
