Baby Boom

I don’t know what’s in the water here, but I’m not drinking any. 3 co-workers (or in 2 cases their wives) are pregnant. I just hope it’s not catching like the flu!


It’s been a while since I made anything for a baby, so when a pattern appeared on eBay that I’d been looking for for months, I snapped it up (despite someone’s last minute attempt to snipe me! Amateur…pah!)

I first fell in love with this pattern when my friend Sarah showed me a picture of the final project. What a great (and fast!) blanket!


So, here’s my progress – I started last night while watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – can you believe I’ve never seen that movie? But I digress…

pretty funky eh?

I like my colours better. If there’s one thing that I don’t like, it’s pastel colours for babies…I mean really, the kid is colour blind for the first while anyway – live it up!


The baby is due at the end of the month, so off to finish up before I get distracted again by another project

  1. I’ve been making this set since 1981. I’ve made it in the pastels and in team colrs but my prettiest one was done in indian colors. It sold fast! I recieved many comments. The whole set works up cute. Enjoy! Liz

  2. Goregous….. may I borrow your book? I just realized I have two blankets to do before the end of June. ttys, Liz

  3. Is there ANY way I can get the directions for that blanket??? It is absolutely awesome. How would I search it on eBay? Thank you.
