That is very pretty, Jennifer...

That is a very "deep" thought for your son-in-law to have about the child's gender...

Remember the days when the sex was known when the baby decided on it's own, mind you, to be delivered.

Look at the grand parents for size. It's not perfect but it's a good indicator.

i am the largest of the grands. this baby will be tiny as an adult. i don't think my son in law is 5'3". my ex is 5'5", i'm 5'6" and my son in law's parents aren't very big either. i'm taller than both of them.

mini-family.
But he is correct. Small boys do have to scrap their way to maturity. The bravado hangs on into adulthood and colors their personalities often.

they do, and of all my family, he has the most bravado intensive job, more than my brother in the army even. my son in law is a small explosives/fire arms expert/inspector with the atf.

I really do love the colors.

bayou girl · « **Reply #32 on:** May 30, 2010, 08:40:10 PM »

me too triss. it is muted enough that it won't matter what they do the room it, it should blend well.

Triss · « **Reply #33 on:** May 30, 2010, 08:55:44 PM »

Let me know when she comes up with a room theme... ok.

bayou girl · « **Reply #34 on:** May 30, 2010, 09:12:39 PM »

Tina · « **Reply #36 on:** Jun 13, 2010, 12:17:18 AM »

Very pretty blanket. And a cute clown. I cannot wait to see your version.

bayou girl · « **Reply #37 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 01:24:59 AM »

for triss, tina, and anyone else interested.

this is the shadowbox pattern i was talking about. first picture is with the flash so you can see the colors. but the detail doesn't show well with the flash, so next two pictures show the front and back. not sure which is which but you get the idea of why it is called shadow box, and what i mean by ribbed stockinette on the other side.

color

shadowbox

the shadowbox is actually recessed.

ribbing

That is very cool.

sunsoaker · « **Reply #39 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 07:27:40 AM »

Very nice.

Tina · « **Reply #40 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 08:08:15 AM »

Not too different from the basket weave pattern. The pattern will show up better in a larger swatch. (So get to hookin' girl!) It is looking good and I'm happy to see that yarn being used. I bought it to make a sweater for myself with and it wasn't going to happen. I liked it that much.

Wrennie · « **Reply #41 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 09:47:19 AM »

So is that in flo and blo and where it has an edge in both loops??

bayou girl · « **Reply #42 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 09:59:54 AM »

actually, the front post and back post are what create the ridges.

I just don't know about looking at family members. Shelley is 5'8" and Tracy is 6'2". Darbi and Colby are both tiny even though they weren't so tiny at birth.

well, with this child, if it is a big kid/adult, it will be a direct throwback to my family. because there is no one over 5'5" among the rest of it's relatives

i'm the giant.

i finished another clown. this one will go to the shop where i teach the class, so i can get mine back. this one is made from thread they sell. i figured i should use their material if they are going to offer the class.

meet mr. clown, jr. he is smaller than the original.

i think he may be 8" tall?

bestofour · « **Reply #45 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 09:37:53 PM »

handsome man. He must be a relative of yours. He's short.

Dianna · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 09:50:50 PM »

He's cute!

Tina · « **Reply #47 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 10:34:14 PM »

or my ex husband...

Triss · « **Reply #49 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 11:58:45 PM »

So cute. I really like those clowns!
