Straight from the Life of Kel

I have been busy with my hooks recently and I think it is a distraction from Anatomy. This is a blanket I made for a friends newborn son. I again choose colors that can grow with him. I used the random stripe generator for the color pattern. I can't find the pattern but it is a basic ripple. It is 36" x 36" and can be a lapghan later for Ryan. I used Jiffy which turned out so soft and cozy, I wanted to keep it for myself.

This little guy belongs to my dear friends. This is their second child. Their oldest and my Caleb are only a few months apart in age. We are so thrilled for them.

Congratulations, Christina and Erich!

My sister is due in April with her second baby boy Curtis. I finished his blanket today, I still have ends to weave in but I wanted to share my FO with you all. I used two strands SS throughout, 2 white 4 rows, 1 white/1 blue 4 rows, 2 blue 4 rows, 1 blue/1 dk blue 4 rows, 2 dk blue 4 rows, 1 dk blue/1 white 4 rows, 2 white 1 row. The pattern was simple and I didn't refer back after the first few ripples.

I finished a scarf for my lil sis to match a hat I made for her birthday in November. I didn't post a FO picture of the hat. I used Cascade Sierra and I winged the pattern as I went using dc and the half double herringbone (which is my new favorite stitch). My sister will love the curly Q fringe. So here it is....as modeled by Leo the Lion.
