Whew, I got the baby blanket done, and it was a huge success. Actually, when I have a baby, I think I would like to make this same blanket.
I knitted 35 baby granny squares out of this beautiful magenta pima cotton. I knitted the purls and purled the knits to create the ribbed look on the squares. Tanya gave me the design to turn them different directions,which I think makes it look wonderful. Then, I did the single crochet with every other increase on the outside with an organic cotton. That organic cotton is soooooooooooooo easy to crochet with. I need more of that from Tuesday Morning!
So, Kelli, who got me into paper art, made me fall in love with all kinds of paper, including wrapping paper. I used this Oriental Designs wrapping paper by Owen Jones that I received from a church bazaar thanks to my other friend Tonya. I absolutely love this book wrapping paper. The designs are exquisite. Then, of course, typical Shalley, I stickered on the names!
So, this summer has definitely changed my life. I not only changed my career, but I am also changing the way I create things. For so long, I would work and work on projects to about 80% completion. Then, I would pick up another project without finishing the first and now I should say the 20th project, he he. This summer, I worked through my projects, and I plan to have them done before I go back to school full-time in August. Look for more finished project posts to come!
