There’s only one WIP this week after finishing the slippers so quickly, and that is nearly done too. After a couple of mammoth car journeys, I managed to get quite a few more rounds added to the beautiful shells baby blanket. I’ve only got 2 rounds left to go, plus a border (which is yet to be chosen!)
Almost there! I’m really aiming to get it finished tonight as it’s the mummy to be’s birthday today and it’d be lovely to say that I finished her baby’s blanket on her birthday. It’s feasible, if I don’t get distracted!
What are you working on this week? Are any of your projects almost finished? I need to decide what to make next!

Still working on my crazy stripes. I just want it to be finished now. I’m getting a hankering to work on something new.
The blanket is looking gorgeous!

Thank you, how much further do you have to go on your stripes?

It’s kinda hard to tell as it’s worked asymmetrically. Ive finished one front and nearly finished the back but have quite a lot more of the other front to go, as well as sleeves and button bands etc.

Sometimes the finishing bits feel like they take as long as the main part! Hope it’s done soon, there’s always Pinterest for planning projects! 😊

That has turned out so beautiful. I love the colors! I don’t know if I would even put a border on it because the shell is so beautiful 🙂 I finished a baby blanket too; however I’m waiting until after she received it on Saturday to blog about it. I also started the Rainbow Baby Blanket for the next baby 🙂

I’m just planning a really simple border to frame it as I’ve finished on grey, maybe a htr round in white I think. I’ll look out for your blanket. 😊

Thank you, I finished the main part but not the border, it still counts as being done today though I think! How are you making the dog blanket?

It looks great! You’ll have to tell me if the holes are okay for baby fingers, I have a few pregnant friends in need of baby blankets!

Thank you, the holes are fairly big, but I think my friend is going to use it in her baby bouncer/rocker in the living room so I’m not too worried about them. I used a 3.5mm hook too, so although it took ages it made smaller holes. This pattern also has quite large holes between the chains and shells that would be there no matter what hook size you use. Hope you get to make one, it’s a lovely pattern.

I really want to make this pattern! It would be for my hubby’s cousin, it’s her third one and she is finally having a girl! I’ll just tell her to use it when her daughter is a bit older maybe 😉

I love this. I want to make one. Don’t tell my three unfinished afghans about this, though. I particularly love this stitch pattern. It’s very stylish and elegant and I just want to stitch the shells. I will be making an afghan like this soon enough, I think. I just should finish at least one of my current afghan projects before getting into another one.

It’s a super pattern for a baby blanket, hope you get a project finished soon so you can start one!

Thanks! I’m pretty determined to get an afghan done so I can start one of these. I see adult blanket potential in this baby blanket of yours. Just a few more rounds and voila, big people fit under it! 🙂

I finished my fish washcloths and sent them off to my grankids in an Easter package. (I forgot to take a picture of them….the washcloths!) And I just need to weave in the ends on a baby blanket I have made. Now time to find another project……
