Blankie for Henry, almost done!

I still need to weave in the loose ends, then hopefully crochet on a blue border! But here it is, reaching from my toes to my belly lying down in bed while working on it!

One night's work!

...means another baby blanket on the way. Sticking with green, as I did for Ruby's baby blanket, Henry Ryan Kinlund's blanket will be a simple pattern of alternating green hues in thick stripes with a blue modeled border...pending my neighbor teaching me how to crochet a border on to a knitted blanket!

Turns out, a year later, making tutus...exactly the same!

My fingers are raw! Here's a picture of the first, 2010 season, finished tutu:
