Yarn Along

This week I have been crocheting in preparation for a new baby so I have been working on a blanket using some beautiful soft double knitting yarn in greys, yellows and white.  I have just finished sewing in the ends which is the worst bit for my and so now only have a little border to do.



 
 
I have also made a little pram toy, a penguin with a bell inside which is rather sweet.  The penguin was made in continuous rounds,  using the amigurumi method.  It took a little getting used to but was a success in the end, not a method I particularly enjoyed.
 
 
 
It does make a nice set, so pleasing to the eye. 
 
 
 
 
I have been browsing a lot of magazines rather than reading a novel as I have had a busy few weeks with family visits.  I am once again joining Ginny over at Small Things for the weekly yarn along.  Why not pop over to see what others have got on their needles/hooks.
 
See you soon.

    Nice baby blanket and penquin. I looked at my unfinished slipper and realized it needs done and it's not that hard. I get frustrated with myself when I let projects sit. Am working thru a book right now. I am feeling better, just tired. Thanks for tour kind comments.
