Yarn Along

With news of 2 new babies to cherish I have concentrated my crochet on baby blankets with the odd gift for Christmas thrown in.  I finished the border on the granny square blanket, which I still love and is probably one of my favourites.

 
I have done an oversize baby ripple blanket so that it will be ideal for a toddler to snuggle into.  The colours whilst working on it were quite soothing, it was a pleasure to work on and an easy pattern once you had completed a couple of rows and got into the rhythm.
 

 
The third blanket is a large granny square with a thick border, the colours shown are not a true colour of it.  The light is playing tricks, it is actually a bright red with a burgundy border and looks quite impressive.
 

 
The bottom picture is a truer match to the colour.
 
I have just started to read  A Highland Christmas but have not formed an opinion yet.  I am so busy with other things that I am not reading very much at all.
 
 
I am joining in the yarn along with Ginny over at Small Things.  Pop over and see what others have on their needles and are reading.
 
See you soon.

    I love that the baby blankets aren't traditional baby colors! Both are so pretty!

    Pretty blankies, they are sure to be loved. I can not remember the last time that I read a book, I have a stack ready but have been busy making things.

    The blankets are gorgeous! My favorite is the orange granny square with the solid border. And what a special gift they will be. I hope you and your family have a very blessed Thanksgiving. -- Jan P.S. I'm finally able to post comments. My iPhone was crossed up with my Google account - grrrrr. It was so frustrating but the problem is finally cleared up!

    I've enjoyed scrolling back and catching up with your last four posts! You have created many pretty and practical gifts! For each of my grandchildren I crocheted a little decorative bib, and for many baby gifts I have knit small cotton washcloths and presented them with a rubber duck. Well done on all of your cleverly made tags, too!

    These are all so beautiful! Any little yungin' will certainly be blessed to call one of these blankies their own...and it will no doubt offer much comfort knowing where it came from!

    So very sweet. I wish I could make such goodies for my little ones. I have never learned how to crochet. I can do just a bit of knitting. I love to see what you are always making. I will wait to hear about your new read.

    The second blanket took my breath away - it's gorgeous, my friend! I know I have told you before, but I just LOVE the colors together.

    Have a great weekend. Hugs!
