On and Off the Hook
The Crafty Side of me has been busy over the past couple of days.
I have finished the round ripple baby afghan for our new granddaughter arriving in October. It is carefully folded and put away until she arrives.

Now I've started two baby sweaters, both from the same pattern booklet titled Soft & Sweet, #0136, by Coats & Clark.
The first sweater is the one on the front cover and it is called Elfin stripes. I'm using a yarn from Michael's called Snuggly Wuggly in baby sport weight. It is a lovely soft yarn. For this sweater I chose soft green and a beige colours.
The next one is the sweater from the Fairytale Set on the back cover. Again I chose the Snuggly Wuggly yarn in varigated colours of whites, pinks, blues, greens and yellows. I think that this one will make up quickly as I finished the sleeves and started the body (row 4) while watching a half hour tv show.I love a bargain and got each ball of yarn at 50% off with a coupon. If you don't get the Michaels flyer you can sign up at their website to get coupons emailed to you. The other site I use is flyerland.ca, sign up and coupons arrive in your inbox weekly.

That is one gorgeous afghan! What a nice welcome from grandma to the new little lady.
How very sweet, Linda;-) Your grand-daughter will certainly be loved, I can tell! How exciting, too! Your crafty side sure is talented, I'll say that--and, energetic! Wish I had the same talent & energy. I've never been 'hooked' on knitting so when I see others doing so, I think it's a lot of work!
What special gifts!! I'm still waiting for more grandchildren. maybe I should start thinking of great-grandchildren.
Linda,Wow,
what a lovely baby afghan. Your new granddaughter will be very fashionable in her sweaters.Good Gramma!
Your blanket's very pretty and the little sweaters are sweet!
