below is Lynnette's new baby blanket

By -
I was at my LYS 3 Bags Full in Northbrook visiting yesterday. Lynnette shared her new baby blanket knit with me for the blog. I just love it. It is very simply constructed and looks so lovely. She made it with Blue Sky's alpaca/merino worsted handdye. In Iris. It has a lovely weight, that I can only describe as the weight a new baby would like to feel secure. The softness of this yarn is wonderful too. It will make an incredible gift. Thanks Lynnette!

It's absolutely adorable. I must admit though that I rarely knit baby blankets. I find that most new mothers I know have an abundance of blankets, so I usually just knit a cute sweater.

You know what is funny? I'm knitting the ruffle edge onto the exact same blanket! I went with a different color, but man oh man, I love that Blue Sky Cotton.

Oh, and for a fellow cubs fan...not sure if they will have any left, but if you call Arcadia knitting, they may still have some special edition Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Cubby Bear. :)

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
