Oh dear! Has it really been almost a month since my last blog post? Well, but I have actually been busy. For real!
First I made this blanket for a friend who is expecting a boy in mid-October.

Can you tell this blanket is for a boy? Haha! I usually try to be a little less obvious about using traditional gender colors because
1. I sort of hate pastels and
2. I just love doing the unexpected when it comes to baby stuff, it's just way more fun.
But for this one I decided to go super traditional. I'd been wanting to try the granny square thing with just a few colors and the same square repeated for awhile and I really loved it! I love the way it kind of looks like tiles and that it looks like something someone might have made back in 1950.
My favorite part of this particular blanket is the border.
It's very simple, just single crochet around and around but it makes it look very polished and elegant. Almost serious.
I also knitted some booties.
Now, seriously, aren't booties just the cutest things ever in the history of ever?
Now I'm working on something else for another friend. Here's a little peek...
(You can probably guess what it is.)
And I haven't forgotten about the Goodnight Moon blanket, but it's gonna have to be on the back burner for a little longer.
