Gift for Babies

Friends having babies is what really got me started with knitting. And it's keeping me going too. I just finished this baby blanket for a friend in Minneapolis



and am finishing up a couple little I-cord hats for a friend's two sisters-in-law back in Indiana, both due in September.

Knitting in the Rockies

Last weekend, Matt and I went camping with some friends up in the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was beautiful... and cooler than the 100 degree temps down in Denver. While up there, I started a baby blanket that needs to be finished within a week or so for a baby shower in Minneapolis! So I'm working on it at home and on the commute up to Boulder and back (on the bus... not while driving).



I finished up the Nepali hat project. I think it was the fourth attempt at getting the top flat. And although it's not completely flat like I'd like it, it's pretty close and I don't think I want to take it apart again and try a fifth time. It looks pretty good. Now I have a pile of hats. A couple of them will be going off in the mail pretty soon.
