fo - sadie's blanky

I packed these up last night for shipping, so here are the pictures of the finished blanky - sorry they're a bit dark, I liked the non-flash images better than the one I took with flash.





My next project is a chenille throw for my sister's new apartment. This will be the biggest project I've attempted yet, although the pattern is basically the same as my baby blankies, just bigger and with bulkier yarn.

Hopefully I'll have it done in time for xmas, but it's going to be a hectic fall semester. I am taking one lecture class, plus one 3 credit internship, while working 20 hours a week and rehearsing with my choir. So bizzy!

sadie's blanky


My husband's family is about to welcome a very special new member; his cousin and her husband are adopting a baby girl from Vietnam, who we hope will be coming home in the next 4-6 weeks. To that end, I recently completed (yet another) blanky for her and a matching hat to go with it!

I think this is my favorite color/yarn combo yet. Unfortunately, I don't remember which yarn I used, so I will have to go on a label hunt in the bottom of my knitting basket. No pics yet, but I will have some soon as I'm getting ready to pack and ship the items to Sadie Kathryn's new family.

The true story of one girl's adventures in knitting and academia.
