Another 3 strand blanket

Due to the enjoyment I had crocheting the 3 strand baby blanket, I decided to make it again, different yarns, and different size needle.  This time I found a 15.00 mm needle from Zellers.  The pattern actually calls for a 19.00 needle, but things can easily be adjusted.

I decided to try the yucky yarn that I took under my care back in the fall, and I quite like how it is turning out.  Unfortunately, I will run out of Yucky Yarn

My newest project

This is my newest project.  I haven't decided if it will be a gift or if I will donate it, due to weight.  The pattern called for a much larger hook, which I did not have, and I still used the three strands that it called for.  It is a pretty solid blanket, but for a July baby, it may be too heavy.  Granted, it can still be used in the winter.



It is currently 22 inches by 28 inches, and I would like to get it to 36 inches.  It is in crochet

My latest Craft Project

After my first knit baby blanket did not turn out so well, I decided to create a second one.  I am only about 6 inches into it, and the baby is due in just over 70 days.  Last night I took a look to see if it is going well, or if it needs to be frogged, and well, it needs to be frogged.  I managed to turn the pattern around, which isn't that huge of a deal, and I see that the pattern is leaning a bit.

I am going to switch to a crochet blanket.  I have already found a nice simple pattern that I should be able to get done in a relatively short time.
