Fabric Follies Two

I’ve been busy as a bee working on the crocheted christening set for the new grandchild that is on the way.  Baby Angelina will be here in May, so I am considering making a second blanket that is much lighter than the one I have just finished.  This set still requires the ribbons, roses and applique that will finish it off and I am off today to visit JoAnn’s and possibly Hobby Lobby to see what there is to offer.  The blanket turned out lovely ( a basic (sc,2dc) shell pattern) but is quite heavy for May in Arizona.

The pattern I am looking at as a second blanket with this set is at Panda Yarns.biz.  They are an Australian yarn company and well worth a bit of time looking around through their site.  Their free patterns are listed in the sidebar under Publications. The pattern I am looking at is a circular shawl and is quite lacy without being so open that little feet would be sticking out all the time. 

Have a look…
