Progress

A friend of mine from work is having a baby this June and this pretty green blanket is for her new little one. She is tough enough not to find out the sex so I am making a neutral color that hopefully matches the bedding she has picked out. I really wanted to knit something for her, but since I don't have a ton of time I figured I better crochet since I am much faster at that.


I have made some progress on the shawl. It is slow going because it is just knitting row after row. I was hoping to have it finished for Easter since it is such a bright and springy color, but obviously that didn't happen!

Here are the wash clothes that I have knitted. I have realized that knitting isn't as hard as I thought it was. All the patterns explained how to make the stitches and if I'm not sure I just go to you tube and find a video to watch. I am excited to find a more challenging project. I think that I am going to knit a baby blanket for our new little girl on the way. Once I finish up some other projects I will be heading back to the store to pick out a pattern and some yarn.
