The first thing I made for my soon-to-be great granddaughter was this sweater. I was testing out the yarn that I picked for the baby blanket I wanted to make. It is a 6-month size so seems large but I know babies grow fast.
The baby shower gift also included a Burrito Baby Wrap, a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch, and a couple of cute outfits.
I’m attempting to use up my bits and pieces of baby yarn when we’re over on Texada. I think these will be the last of my baby caps.
For this next trip I have a couple of patterns that I’ll attempt to make into a baby blanket, although that isn’t the pattern’s intention. I have two full skeins left and if I add a row or two of contrast I’m hopeful it will all be gone.
These will be donated.
For our last trip to Texada I decided not to transport any crafts across but instead I wanted to work on some of the unfinished crafts I already had over there.
This summer I took a bag of baby yarn across and knit a baby cap. There was still plenty of yarn left so I knit another one. I think there is probably enough yarn left even now for at least three more. I’m sorry that this yarn is no longer available as I used it for all of the first blankies I made for my grandchildren.
I’ll donate these to BOND (Babies Open New Doors) when they are all finished.

I have a few things this year that I’ll be donating to the Salvation Army in remembrance of Mum.
I had a few quilted projects that I thought might bring someone some cheer.
And a bit of knitting and crochet.
