The mis-adventures of a knitting dumbass

No time to blog!

Ugh.. so work has been keeping me busy and I'm working on projects more than ever. We've had a few bad weekends here, the temp jumping up to 100 degrees and now all of a sudden it's 55 and rainy... perfect project weather.

I finished the blanket for little Smush. She's doing well and her surgery is in a week. I've decided to stay here in LA and have them call me every 2 minutes to let me know how everyone is doing. They're under some stress with the whole situation right now and with all the rest of the family interfering, I'd just add to the duress they're under.

So, without further ado... Smush's blanket


I actually went against the directions and crocheted the squares together wrong sides together so that way you got a little texture on the right side at the seams. I like it... and it only took a week to make it.

Also, well I couldn't help myself, I was at Joann's and those little pattern books were calling out to me... So I picked up the cutest little dress/bloomer/hat outfit pattern and Smush will be stylin'!


It's the little one on the right side. I picked a similar fabric for one dress and a cute bug/flower print for the other.

I've never sewed baby clothes before, just adult clothes and quilts and I have to say while I'm sewing this tiny little thing together I have to stop every few seconds and squeal at how adorable and tiny it is. It's much faster to sew as well because it's so small.

I'm also crocheting a blanket for a girl at work. She's having a baby so I'm giving that to her as a gift. No pics just yet, but it'll be done in a day or two so I'll show you then.

Ahhh have a happy long memorial day weekend... enjoy!

I love teh blanket! Very impressive too!

You probably made the right choice by staying home and avoiding the craziness of the hospital with Smush! This way you can come out here during the summer when she is better and have a great visit!
