Made for Baby Check-In - Knitting, Crocheting, Sewing, Quilting, Etc.

brachatzipora · January 2013

Welcome to the check-in for those of us crafting-for-baby. Today is our third check-in, and I'm totally embarassed that I haven't made the "list" of participating ladies. I'm still using the format from two weeks ago, but I'll compile something soon!

Please just include items you're making for YOUR baby or friends' babies. No etsy or for-sale items (I think it's against TOS anyway). If you have an etsy where people can see similar items to those that you've made for yourself, I think we've agreed last time that that's okay.

Current Projects (and pictures if you want!):I'm still working on an afghan that I started a year ago and put aside. I finally got into a rythem with it so now it's hard to put down. I'm planning on picking up some yarn this week to start a blankie for Baby Boy. I think I've decided on this pattern:

But I also found this and want to make it as well:

I'm not 100% on the blankie but I LOVE that car seat cover.

Current Projects (and pictures if you want!): Almost finished a baby-wrap for a friend, just need to buy some toggles to close it up.

Next will be an afghan for my LO, waiting to find out the sex to start. Also considering NOT using the traditional pastels that I've made all the other afghans for friends. The yarn is really nice but pastels....eh. After that I'll be onto another afghan for a friend who is due 10 days after me!

Team Pink/Blue/Green/Find Out: Team Finding Out Tomorrow (hopefully!).

Type of crafting you do: Mostly knitting and sewing.

Any websites where we can see your stuff (eg. your blog, Ravelry): Not really.

Current Projects (and pictures if you want!): I just finished a cable-knit jacket (though I'm still in the process of trying to find some toggles for it), and I spent the weekend making felted wool soakers from thrift store sweaters - the colors wound up being pretty boy-ish, but I figure I can find ways to "girly" them up if necessary. Hopefully pics work!

There are 3 newborn size, 2 smalls, 2 mediums and 2 larges. If they work out well, I'll find more sweaters to make more! It was only $20 of sweaters to make at least $90 of soakers! Hurray thrifty fun!

And I almost forgot the knit bear I made! I've been on a roll the last couple of weeks :-D

Thanks! I'm really pleased with how it turned out - thus the quest for the perfect toggles for it. It's for a 6 month old - so I have some time fortunately!
