We'll start with the blanket, though it wasn't the first item in the set I completed.

Color: Capri Blue

Needles: Circular size 5 and 7

Finished: January 14, 2016

Comments: I really like these colors together. The Lime was just a little thinner than the Ocean so it came out a little bit smaller than usual, but it's still plenty big enough to fit a newborn. I also was a little short on Lime, so I did Ocean for the bottom welt, cuffs, and button/neck bands instead of using the Lime like the pattern instructed. I like it this way. Found the perfect froggy button for it too.

The front.

Back

Now the hat.

Booties for the feet.

Pattern: Seamless Garter Tassel Booties by Karen Strauss

Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Ocean

Yarn: Unknown acrylic yarn

Content: 100% Acrylic, light worsted weight
Color: Lime

Needles:  Circular size 5

Finished: January 23, 2016

Comments: There is something not quite right about the garter cuffs on these, but I'm not sure what it is. Not gonna worry about it. I did the EZ Sewn Bind Off  and I like it much better. Much stretchier and looks great. For the ties, I just made cord with Lime yarn.

I've already started the next set. This one will be black, lemon yellow, and gray.

We are just chilling for the weekend, working on home projects interspersed with watching things on Netflix. It's nice to not need to go or be anywhere. It was cold outside today, and snowed just a bit while I was out there doing some hot tub maintenance.  I was being reminded that it's still winter.

Live long and prosper. \\//
