I’m working on my first knitted baby blanket.  It’s exactly half done now.  Only took 2+ weeks, and the mommy is in labor right now!    I really need to speed this up.  Grrr.  I’m using knitpicks yarn, a washable worsted weight.  It really is fun to make, though, and I love the lacy pattern.

I finished the baby sweater last month.  It is supposed to fit a one year old but seems kinda large.  I used Lornas Laces  Shepherd Sock, color Jeans.  Lovely soft yarn.  Took about 1.5 skeins.

My parents were here last weekend for Easter.  We had a great time.  My cat really enjoyed the visit, too.

After they left I pulled out this table runner Mom gave me.  We think Dad got it as a gift.  It’s from Germany.  It fits my new sofa table perfectly, see?
