WIP Wednesday - Yellow Baby Blanket

This is a blanket I started a while back and had put away. Now I have a recipient in mind and need to get it completed quickly. The pattern intrigued me because it was a take on a granny square but is set on the diagonal. The photo in the pattern book is just so pretty that I had to try it. Here is where I am so far...

 

 This isn't the best picture but I can work on that next time. lol

This blanket has about 5-6 rows of yellow and then one row of "baby print" yarn. I think it would have worked a tiny bit better if I'd used two yarns of the same weight but I used what I had in my stash and I think it will be fine.

To play along on Work-in-Progress Wednesday, make your blog post for Wednesday be about something you're working on - some type of craft, renovation project, landscaping, even that novel you're writing. Copy the code below Rosie's picture and paste it into your blog post so that others can follow too, and see the rest of the projects that are posted here.

 

. . . . . . Ribbon Candy Blanket WIP

 
Here is the "Ribbon Candy" blanket again. Haven't spent much time working on this afghan since I needed to complete the baby gift. I'll be working on it this week though and hope to get a lot closer to the finish line with it.

I had a chance to work on it for about an hour or so last night and here is the progress I made... I believe I got 6 rows and started a 7th before I put it away.


It looks so much longer when you photograph it from the end instead of the side. LOL  And actually, the stripes will go up and down her bed instead of across it. Of course, this was folded in 4th's instead of covering my bed completely.

Wednesday - Pink and White WIP

These were taken this morning before I left to sit and work while the girls were bowling for Phys Ed. I was able to finish seaming the booties, hide the tails on all the projects and sew the button on the bib. I also began working on the diagonal receiving blanket to match. I still need to add the loop button hole on the bib.









I really love how easily and quickly these items work up. I have also completed this set in camouflage for the grandson of a friend. I just think they are adorable!
