meet.make.baby blankets: part 5

So planning for my next baby blanket, I knew I didn't want to make anything too girly or boyish..

Whoa. Wait a second.. can you believe we're already at PART 5 of the blanket series??? Like I said, this was the season for baby blankets. 

meet.make.crochet-along: round ripple baby blanket.

With all the baby blanket making going on in these parts, how fitting was it for Alicia to choose a baby blanket for September's crochet-along project! I have been eyeing this pattern for awhile, so it was perfect timing.

Oh, hello again! Is this another addition to our baby blanket series you ask? Why yes it is!! I've got another one to share with you today. And while you're here, why not have a peak at my granny square blanket, and Steph's additions here and here!!

I think it is fair to say this was definitely the season on baby blankets.So for your enjoyment, here's the blanket I made for Cindy and baby Nell! Ps. Could she BE any cuter? :)

Introducing baby Nell!

Hi everyone, it's Cindy! Here's the reason why I've been MIA from the blog... say hello to baby Nell!   Here she is on her one-month birthday.

Guess what? This isn't a crochet post! WHATTT you say? We know, it's been so long! Part of the reason it is not a crochet project is that technically none of us made this... but it was too amazing not to share with you all. 

Our friend Lindsay made Nell a BEAUTIFUL quilt from scratch. It is crafted to perfection and definitely retail worthy! It was her first time making a quilt believe it or not, she has serious mad skills when it comes to sewing.

It's time for another baby blanket post! You can find part one here and part two here. Can I just throw out how difficult it is to get good pictures of blankets for the ol' blog here? We have had a heck of a time taking photos that showcase the blankets! If anyone has any tips we would love to hear them! 

I made this blanket for the lovely Lindsay, one of my nearest and dearest friends. (She was my maid of honor at my wedding) I started this blanket prior to her giving birth, but the baby had plans of his own and came 3 weeks early. Jack Andrew was born a few weeks ago, and he is the cutest!! I had to frantically work away to get it done in time to give to her.

As we've probably mentioned more than once.. there has been many new additions to the world lately, including my new baby niece Rose! I had previously made my first knit baby blanket for her brother Luke when he was born, so of course I had to keep the tradition afloat! So here comes another addition to our baby blanket series!

Between Hayley and I, I think we have 4-5 completed baby blankets to share with you! There have been so many babies lately, that we have barely been keeping up with all the crocheting! Be warned.... meet.make.laugh. might get a little crochet heavy over the next little while! 

So as we mentioned, Cindy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a couple weeks ago. We can't wait to share pictures of Nell with you (she's SO CUTE), but until then you need to be satisfied with pictures of the baby blanket I made for her!

The project that felt like it would never end has finally been completed! I decided months ago that I wanted to make an afghan for my brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law as a wedding gift, and it is finally done. I even had a couple weeks to spare. I'm really happy with the finished product, but I think I'm even more happy that I don't have to work on it anymore. ;) Time to move onto some quick gratifying projects!

Hayley's Granny Stripe Blanket

As Steph and I attempt to get through our Crochet-a-long November project, I've become inspired by Alycia of The Curious Pug to document one of my biggest projects to date!
While I have successfully crocheted a few baby blankets for dear friends, I haven't been brave enough to try the ominous task of a Queen sized blanket for my home.
