...W.I.P. Wednesday...the Baby Shower edition...

...the Baby Shower was Saturday...so I can show you the goods now...
...of course I knit a pink version of my Super Simple One Hour Baby Hat...
...and I loved this soft and sweet...purple and pink variegated yarn...so Cute!...
...and then I just knit one of my rectangle stockinette stitch blankets...
...and y'all have seen another version of this wavy border before too...
...I absolutely could not keep kitten off of this blanket...
...I had to put her in another room just to take a photo...and she was purring the entire time...
...not sure why this photo is not rotated...but it emphasizes the importance of using the same dye lot...even with plain white yarn...arghhh...
...this one is sideways too...but the Mom-to-Be requested a book instead of a card...so I found a cute farm themed board book...but got a card also...
...and I've started using a pretty printed reusable shopping bag instead of a paper gift bag...
...and I embroidered the new baby's initial on the blanket just using duplicate stitch...
...this is the pattern I drew...it's wonky because it was on two sheets and I skewed the two photos together...I should do an actual scan...

...what's in your workbasket?...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. It's a beautiful gift. It's amazing the difference in the white dye lot but to be honest, I thought you specifically used 2 colours to give the blanket greater interest ;-) I'm sure the mother to be will love it all.
