New Donations

I get so excited when new things come in. So, I wanted to share this with everyone.

These are burping pads! I have never seen these before but Im really stoked about them.

My favortie is the monky one!

I was also given what she called bobo pads. They are basically like the bean bag ice packs you keep in your freezer but better. They are made from adorable, soft fabric and they are baby sized!

For anyone who might doubt the awesomeness of rice filled bags, I left them in my car over night and they were really cold the next day. Imagine how awesome they would be in my freezer. (I had stubbed my baby toe so I hope no one is offended by my personal useage. But Im sure you all know what thats like.)

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

Baby Blanket

I am soooooo proud of myself. I finally finnished this blanket. :P I have bee working on it off and on for nearly a year or something. Its an alternating granny pattern with white, lime green, yellow, light blue, and dark blue. I want to keep it :(

Baby Hats

I have the cutest baby hat pattern. Its so easy I made it up myself! (that should tell you something)

Worked flat on US sizes 5 and 7 needles. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn.
Cast On 60 sts with smaller needles.
Work k2 p2 ribbing for ten rows.

Switch to bigger needles then knit one row purl one row until the peices measures 4in
Begin decrese!

Row 1: *k 5 k2tog* reapeat to end (there may be some left over sts at the end. I found this to be normal)
Row 2: Purl (all even rows)
Row3: *K4 k2tog* reapeat to end
Row 5: *k 3 k2tog* reapeat to end
Row 7: *k 2 k2tog* reapeat to end

Run yarn through the remaining sts and pull tight. Leave a tail long enough to sew up the hat. Then sew up the seam and work in your ends.

It also looks really nice if you use the seed stich rather than ribbing.

I have also found ways to change them up. I should have followed my origional plan and done 20 or 25 rows of the ribbing for this hat because its a little short now but it is still so sweet.

My goal it to make ten of them before I get totally sick of the pattern. I normally can't do the same pattern that many times in a row but I'm going to give it a shot. I will post the pictures when they are all done
