Baby Blankets

This one is finished, for my cousin Ashley and her husband Dave's new baby which is due next month. (It's a girl. In case you couldn't tell by the pink.) ;P  I have crocheted this pattern a couple times before. But for boy babies. (It's a "boy" pattern, in the book..)  But I like it. So I did it in pink.  

So you can see the edging...

Folded...   I was going to make them a card, too. I want to make one like the card I made for Tia.  I still have to send her a message on Facebook, and get their address. I got a baby shower invitation, but the address on the invite was the girl who was hosting her baby shower. So that's no help to me...    Incidentally (or coincidentally?), Ashley's mom (my Aunt) also taught me how to do embossing on cards. (She was the one who taught me/helped me learn how to crochet.)  Now I am making her daughter/grand-daughter a blanket and a card. :P

A baby afghan in progress for the OB Unit. I had a couple of skeins of the Tropical Fruits yarn left, and Soft Navy. I just thought those colors would go good together.   Well, I ran out of both of them. Sigh...  I can only find the Tropical Fruits yarn at a pharmacy in our old town. But I did get another skein of Soft Navy. And I was going to get some more today when I took Eon to school (no sense wasting gas driving there just for yarn)...  But guess who is home "sick" again today (third absence since school started. UGH....)    And, I actually found another partial skein of the Tropical Fruit yarn while looking for another yarn. :P  So I was able to finish that row, and keep working on it...

I am past the middle..   I think it's cool how it ended up on the very last row of the variegated for the corner.  

Here's another scrap baby afghan I started..  I didn't use a pattern. I was just sitting there with the bag of scrap baby yarns, and started doing it.  I just chained long enough until it was six inches; then did hdc's...   That green variegated I got at the Dollar Store when we lived in Nevada. :P  I only have a small amount left, then that's it..

And progress on the scrap baby log cabin, too...  I was "trying to do two sides darder two side lighter. But...  It isn't looking like that so far. It just looks like one side is darker. Sigh..   When you do a scrap blanket but don't have enough scraps, even....

All nice blanket projects, you make it seem easy :)
