Another baby shower gift

I am for sure all our friends and family are having babies in the same 12 month period. This time is it my cousin in Brisbane, so instead of the my usual sewing gift I decided this time, as we are coming into winter, to get the needles out and knit away. I used a very neutral tan colour, as we don't what she is having! I nearly didn't part with the vest I fell in love with it, and it's soooo easy to knit up.

Here all the links for the patterns for you to create your own masterpieces. Beanie pattern, booties pattern, and vest pattern all are free. I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply rustic wool, so soft and warm.

Finishing

I am definitely known as an idea's girl, however, I am not known as a finishing girl! I have soooo many started projects, that I keep thinking I will finish them one day, well for one project the one day is here!

How did it come about??? Well, I was prowling through the ether, as one does to pass the time, and came across this gorgeous tutorial - how to crochet granny ripple which immediately got me thinking of colours for a blanket!

My partner then asked, why am I starting another project when I have so many on the go as it was. Since I did not have a valid reason, I thought well there is a gorgeous green and white cotton blanket I have had on needles for over 2 years that I could finish and alas I have resumed knitting it!!

I really do love it, and it is supersoft to knit. Fingers crossed on take 2 I get it done! Then the granny ripple is happening, as I have a christmas present in mind for it. (The green and white blanket is staying with us)
