New inspiration



I was surfing some knitting blogs and stubled upon Spud & Chloe. I love Susan Anderson's baby hat designs from when I was making the hats for Preemie Project. I haven't stumbled upon her yarn anywhere yet but I have heard its really nice. Plan to get some as soon as I can. Not many yarn shops around, I hope to be able to get to a few while in Boston.
Anyway- she has shared some great knitted square patterns to be used with her yarn. I've tried two of the square patterns and I love them. They are a great size, knit up quick and look great. Fabulous textures and the patterns are really easy. I have been using the donated yarn and will try to do several squares from each skein.
When I find her yarn I will buy some to make a baby blanket for my sister who is now expecting in the fall!.. Yeah - Connor will have some one to grow up with! Her oldest son is graduating high school in a month. Connor was 1 in February hard to believe already.
