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.
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

Ps I also have saturated canary candy on my blog
That mum to be looks pretty proud of her new blanket :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with finishing the next one too.
Hugs,

I'm glad the bag arrived ok and, more importantly, that you like it!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, 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
Hi kay! I never have tried knitting so I do hope I'll have the patience you have when I do!

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
ReplyDeleteHi 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 :)
ReplyDeleteHey Connie,
DeleteI 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
your chair looks so comfy just right for knitting. happy crafting jill #62
ReplyDeleteKay, 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
ReplyDeleteThursday is tomorrow!!! I'll see if I can take photos of my necklaces tonight after I get home. Have to work late though..... I want to link up!!!
DeleteHugs,
Kay

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

ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!.....that is one comfy looking work space...LOL

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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blankets! I'm the world's slowest knitter, so I bought an Incredible Sweater Machine a while ago only I need to make the space to set it up lol. Thanks for visiting :D. Happy WOYWW #134

Great blankets Kay, your knitting looks great :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen xx
I always love to visit and see what you have going on! I never learned to knit so I'm very envious of your skills! The blanket looks great! glenda#103
ReplyDeleteThe blankets look fab, I wish I could knit but sadly it is disastrous!!! Have a great week hugs trace x
ReplyDeleteOh that knitted blanket looks so cuddly and warm. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSandra #17
First thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment about my 3 wheel stool!!
ReplyDeleteHavent landed on the floor yet!!!
Both blankets are Lovely!!! I know both Mom's will be thrilled with them and will get TONs of use!!!
Great baby blankets, only ever been able to knit scarves and only if someone castes on and off for me lol. Hugs amanda #133
ReplyDeleteSuper 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
ReplyDeleteHello 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
ReplyDeleteA great blanket to keep the baby warm. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your week!
Happy WOYWW

Lovely blankets! I tried knitting once, spent so much time taking out stitches lol! I'm just not all too textile friendly!
ReplyDeleteAngie #154
Hey look at you busy lady, I don't know how I missed your desk this week, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt could be that I am always distracted by the gorgeous backdrop to your blog Kay.
Just popping back now for a proper read.
Have a good weekend.
