My Cat Reggae

This is Reggae...my wild (fur) child.
In my next life...I want to come back as a cat.

WIP---Baby Afghan

My current WIP is this Lace and Fan Baby Afghan I am knitting for my niece's baby shower, which is on July 15. Yep...Shannon is having a little girl. This, of course, means I need to be finished by July 14 at the latest. I started this challenge about June 4, figuring I'd have plenty of time. However, it is not growing as quick as I had hoped. It was my first venture out of my comfort zone of simple knits and purls, working on circular knitting needles, and casting on double more stitches than I'd ever done before. After 3 or 4 froggings and tinkings, almost giving up, but finding no pattern I liked more, I am only 1/3 done. I'd better get knitting!!

"Things with Wings" Baby Blanket

This is the baby blanket I knitted. The squares were adapted from dishcloth patterns. It was knitted with Caron's Simply Soft...it really is!!

**since so many seem to want to make this, the patterns can be found here:
(Dragonfly and Spring Butterflies)

and the other butterflies were purchased here:

I had to adjust the sizes to fit my design and it took some thinking and advice from the dishcloths and knitting groups on Yahoo, but they worked just fine.
