Middle of Baby Blanket

I have finished all the middle squares for the blanket...
My cousin gave birth to a baby girl on the 12th & her name is Abby...
So I have got another shade of pink and I am making the majority of the blanket in cream and pink BUT wanted to use the other blue and pink squares as didn't want to waste them...

So here is the centre of the blanket as it stands at the moment...

I hope you like my progress so far...

I have another 16 cream and pink squares that I haven't photographed yet...

Knitting...2011

Making a baby blanket for my cousin's new baby...

Baby hasn't arrived as yet and my cousin did not find out if it was going to be a boy or girl (she already has one of each)...
I am knitting squares in cream, pink and blue at the moment...using different types of stitch...I have 5 done already and I'll need 54 in total (to make a 6 by 9 blanket) plus a crocheted border...

 

^^^ Wool colours...

 

^^^ 3 plain knitted squares...

 

^^^ 2 knit on one row, pearl on the next...

(bit curly at the edges but will be okay when stitched together in a blanket!)

 

^^^ Basketweave squares...knit 4 stitches, pearl 4 to end - do 4 rows of this...

THEN once the 4 rows are done, knit where pearl stitches were before and pearl where knit stitches were...looks like a little checkerboard...the pink one was the 1st square that I knitted and I was just playing around, its a bit different from the cream one...

That's it so far...

The End of 2010's Finishes/WIPs...

Finished American Smooth for my Mum in time for Christmas...it now takes pride of place in our hallway...

 Framed version: 

Also made some progress on my HAED Moon Glow...I'm now onto page 5, this photo was taken after I completed page 4...

This was my progress before I finished page 4...

I'm hoping to have page 5 finished within the next couple of weeks. I'm just over halfway done and it is only a partial page...

I'm now back at home in Lowestoft rather than living in Crewe, please see this post if you're interested in the drama surrounding this situation...http://www.craftbubble.com/index.php?do=/public/forums/display_topic/id_21931/Im-moving-again-soon/

I plan to try my hand at some knitting this year I think...I want to make a baby blanket for my cousins impending arrival...might have to ask my Mum to help me...

New Year New Start...just got to find a job now...

 

Wish me luck!!!
