Here is the purse I made for my husband’s charity craft sale at his work. I didn’t line it though. She got to pick the colors and I was a little bummed that she is giving it to her 4 year old daughter who is a purse hound. But it gave me practice for when I want to do mine. I started it Tuesday and was done with ribbon and all by Saturday night (only get to knit after girls go down for nap and bed).
Before
After
I made this blanket for my friend who is due in 5 weeks with her second baby. It is light yellow and although I am satisfied with the final product, I will NOT be offering to knit this one again…a pain in the rear!
I like the purse after felting better than before, nice job. And the baby blanket, WOW! it’s really beautiful! Looks like a pain in the butt pattern, but I’m sure she’ll love it. Wouldn’t it be a great compliment to you if she used it at the Christening? When I make things like that for other people and then find that they dont use them because they want to keep them as a keepsake it kinda hurts me. Hope she uses it a lot! Fabulous darling!
I am sure she will use the blanket. She asked me to make it actually when I said I was going to knit something for the baby. She told me it was going to be THE blanket for the baby. So, I know it was worth it.
I used Tea for Two Baby Afghans by Leisure Arts. There are six patterns in there. I have made two of the six. The one I just made is called Dreamy Wrap (which is pictured on the front cover).
