Baby Quilt

Stef cut out all of the different shapes for these and then sewed them on individually to create each image. Turned out beautifully! Super fun and bright for the baby boy she is making it for!

Roses


This one is another knitted dishcloth. I found this pattern on Raverly and it is called Single Rose Dishcloth. I knitted this one a little too tight and when I washed it it curled on the edge.

Needles used: US 5
Yarn used: Lily Sugar'n Cream (Lavendar)

Candy Cane

I wanted to try out knitting some dishcloths that had pictures in them. This pattern is called Candy Cane.

Needles Used: US 8 (5.00mm)
Yarn used: Lily Sugar'n Cream (Red)

Swirly Fun


These are baby bibs I found in a magazine, Crochet Today! Special Issue 2010: Must have Gifts , and needed a project to do on the train on my recent trip to Denmark. I thought they were the cutest and would make a great baby shower gift.
Hook Used: US F
Yarn used: I used leftover acrylic yarn from previous projects.

Soap Soap Soap


When I saw this pattern I thought about how my husband and I only have one soap tray and how our soaps always stick together. I made one for him and one for myself and really like them. The soaps don't stick together anymore and they fit nicer in the tray. I also like that the bag is made out of 100% cotton, so your soap is already wrapped in a washcloth. This pattern is called Spiral Soap Saver.

Hook used: US H
Yarn used: Lily Sugar'n Cream
I have a small tub full of this kind of yarn and used scraps I had out of it.

Here Fishy Fishy

When I saw this pattern I knew I had to do it. The fish would be perfect in a kids bathroom or in a fun kitchen. The pattern is called Fish Washcloth/Dishcloth. The last picture I am showing with the Soap Savers I made (post Soap Soap Soap). I think this would also make a lovely gift for someone.

Spiral Scraps


Some more wash/dish cloths from my tube of cotton yarn. I found this pattern on Ravelry and it is called Spiral Dishcloth.
I found this to be pretty easy and quick to whip up.
Hook used: US J
Yarn used: Lily Sugar'n Cream
You can used any color combo you want to match either your kitchen or bathroom. Also it doesn't take too much yarn so is a good stash-buster.
