I just finished knitting a baby blanket. The baby arrived a month ago!! Of course I managed to forget to take a pic but the baby's grandpa post here at Forums so I will ask him if he will be so kind as to post a pic for me. The blanket is all ready wrapped up reading for posting to Canada first thing tomorrow.

How's everyone elses projects coming on?

Not sure what to do next...maybe practice my crochet

I am knitting a little aran for my daughter, but if she won't wear it I won't be offended (it's not pink! :-D) I'll donate it to my church to sell.

I am looking at starting an Icelandic sweater in wool for myself...snuggly for the winter!

Working on a baby blanket myself! My niece has a Winnie-the-Pooh theme, so even though she's a girl, she's getting a blue and yellow blanket, because I have the CUTEST Pooh bear border. Other relatives have made her nice girly blankets, so if she needs one of those, she's got em! lol. I just loaded up a picture to put on the Knitters and Crocheters thread, along with a prayer scarf I just finished and one I'm working on currently.

That sounds really nice, what colour(s) have you chosen?

It's a very dark shade of brown, kind of chocolatey. I'll post a picture once I'm finished!

Sounds nice! I am knitting for my sister in law, a baby alpaca scarf in deep purple, almost black. Very soft and beautiful. I look forward to seeing how it truns out after washing. Also, I am knitting wool socks, just started on #2, hoping they are the same size, and also just about done a silk/wool blend shawl in a lighter purple.

I am going to have a go at posting a couple of pics of things we have made. The first pic should be of Rob's Christmas Pudding, which is on a doily our friend crocheted (sorry, I know it isn't knitting) and the second pic should be of a baby blanket I knitted along with a Panda and an Owl that Rob also made.
