Here you go, the various stages of Weston's baby blanket in progress. I'm down to 6 rounds plus the edging.

-
it looks good, Jen. Has she been planning for this baby at home? Purchasing anything?
-
Nice.
-
excellent Jen, remember to rest your wrists.

believe me i am. if i get at all "twingy" i quit. or if i get bored with it. or just tired of it. or... it takes me so long on a project because i put them down a lot. :)

she has done some purchasing and i'll help matthew get whatever they else they need when i get there. i don't think she has a clue. they just bought the car seat a couple days ago.

Cool stuff. I love it.

Cool.

the doily halfheartedly blocked

-
Nice work. Like the colors on the mermaid blanket.
-
Awesome. I can see why the doily caused hissy fits.
-
messy bun beanie on a head. kathryn's head to be exact. i have made some adjustments to it so it will fit jess better. but here you go.

thanks for the good words on the other stuff.
-
That is too cute! I am sure that Jessika will enjoy it... :)
Love the mermaid blanket and the doily, also. I don't think I would have the patience to even work on a doily... :grinnnn:
-
They go very quickly. When I was making them I think I got it down to about an hour and a quarter for a round one.
-
tammy, they do work quickly, in general. and yes, a round one is fairly fast. especially if you are doing straight fans, straight shells, pineapples, or other repeat pattern stitches. the problem with this one is that it is not round, and the pattern is a one half of the oval is this way, repeat for the second half. next round, it is something different but still in that do this for half then repeat. but within the "do this for half" there are a ton of variations. ch 7, tr 3, ch3, ch 4, ch 7, tr 4, ch 7, tr 4... or whatever. it is tiring but i'll be happy and proud when it is done.
-
certainly not something you want to do while watching tv. It sounds like the author got writer's cramp with those directions. I started doing doilies on Okinawa and use charts since I couldn't read the directions.
-
Oh, this is a chart, but it is still that complicated
-
huh! I didn't think the photobucket pics would still show up! Jim did you work some magic? I'm glad I looked. Here are some of my latest projects... including the current wip - cameron's blanket

more to come
-
Awesome!
-
Ditto that!
-
:good2:
-
nice colors. I like that doily from way back too.
-
the doily is in the "works in progress" pile, still. because i got side tracked with baby blankets. maybe soon i'll get back to it!
-
Cameron's blanket - FINISHED!

Great job!

Very nice

love the sail boat. Not crocheting much. Left hand is slow.
-
ok I'm trying a simple double crochet muffler.
-
I gave up knitting and crocheting. It's just not something I can do right.
