FO: Baby

DSCN1996
One thing I can say for sure, is that I have way too much baby yarn. I don't even know how I ended up with half of the baby yarn that I have, but hey , you gotta use it, right?

For some reason, I just have this urge to buy all new baby yarn, but I won't let myself do that. Therefore, I am working through my stash and making as many baby sets and blankets that I can. Then, and only then, I will buy more yarn (hopefully!).

The blanket was just your typical washcloth blanket pattern. It's quick, worked well with the yarn, and it's suitable for a baby boy. You know, a win-win situation. ;-)

The booties, once again, came from my "go-to" pattern. They're really cute and super easy. I probably made both of them in a half hour or less. The pattern can be found at Ooo Baby Knits.

Then I made this hat:

Let me just say that I loved making this hat. I think it is so adorable. And the fact that it has a tie-closure instead of the typical crown decrease? Well, that's just very unique, and it also makes the hat a little adjustable which is always a plus!

The pattern came from Just Another Pattern Blog. Overall, the pattern was very simple and very easy to follow. However, I had a heck of a time with it because it was the very first project that I knitted from start to finish on DPNs. I think once I practice using DPNs more, I would make this hat again. I really did like that pattern, but I wasn't used to using the DPNs and I would usually have stitches fall off of the needles.

I also have many more projects to show, but I'll save those for another time.
