I've completed the baby blanket and sweater and hat set. The blanket I started last Monday and completed it on Saturday, 1/8/12, at 10:00 AM. Again, just in time for the shower at 1:00 PM. The sweater set I started Monday and completed this morning. The blanket, I know everyone is pretty aware of the pattern. The Sweater Set is a pattern from Leisure Arts, "Beautiful Baby Layettes" and the number on the back is #3136. I know I've had this blooklet for quite some time. I believe I got it about 15-20 years ago. I'm one of those, if I like a pattern, I'll buy it. I might not make it right away, but I figure that if I make something from each blooklet/book, I've gotten my monies worth. Here it is, 15-20 years later and I'm finally making one of the sweater sets. I also did a stash buster. I used yarn that I had for probably about the same time. I bought it at Ames for $2.99 a skein (3-ply 85% acrylic, 15% rayon), net weight 6 oz., machine washable and dryable, mothproof, nonallergenic. It's Natura Wintuk Pomopadour Ultra Soft Baby Yarn. I had a skein of each color in the blanket. I enjoyed using yarn from my stash. The ribbon that I used for the ties were also stash busted......... Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
If I come across a booty pattern I like, I'll make them and add them to the set too.
