Very Hungry Caterpillar Cocoon, and Baby Afghan Progress

I finished another baby cocoon set yesterday, for the OB Unit.  I bought another cute onesie  to go with this set; at Old Navy the other day, it's green with pink and white lettering and it says "Sorry I'm  Busy Being Cute". They were half off, so they were the same price as the ones at Walmart.  I found some cute Hungry Caterpillar onesies online, but I can't afford $18 plus shipping, just for a onesie.  (Sheesh..)    I thought a bee and caterpillar cocoon would be cute for summer time. I am thinking about a lady bug one next. I would have to get more yarn, though. So I don't know..   Tight budget. I used yarn I had for this.  

I finally took a picture of my baby afghan progress. I hadn't been working on it much; except the last couple of days. Last night I did four or five rows on it.  I wish I had more selection of colors for it. (Sigh..)  I was gifted a box of yarn by Stephanie, that helped a lot.  She sent some peach, which I had been wanting forever, and could not find anywhere.  I did one row of peach on this afghan. But I don't know if I want to save it for a different project..  And she sent some pink/white/blue variegated, which I love; and am also wondering if I should save for a different project. I love using variegated to knit booties with. I still haven't decided if I am going to send this to the OB Unit, or to my girl.  I wanted to get some yarn to make her a different (solid colored) afghan. But....  This one might actually be done in time to send her; if I keep working on it...  We'll see..   I still don't know if she is going to have a boy or a girl.  This afghan is looking more like "girl" colors, to me.  

I know I posted the yarn Stephanie sent me, on facebook. But I can't believe I didn't post it here.  Look at it all. :D  I have used every skein so far.  Except the I Love This Cotton, and the aran color.  I used the plum Simply Soft on the antannae for the caterpillar. And the rest in my scrap baby afghan.    I don't know if Stephanie reads my blog, but thank you again, Stephanie!  :)

For the onsies . . . I am just wondering if you could buy a plain white onsie then print a transfer, form your computer, to put on the onsie?

Aww...the caterpillar cocoon set is too cute, Tina! Now I wish I made one for my nephew when he was smaller...

Thanks, Paula and Mimi. I know, Mimi- I wish I had made these all for my boys when they were babies! Paula, I think that is what the woman did who was selling the onesie. I just am such a computer dummy, I would never be able to figure out how to do that. (Plus, we don't have any printer ink..) But it's a good idea!
