Our friend Kate had a baby in October. I finally got around to knitting a blanket and a matching bowl for the baby and her room:

They’re both knit out of Lion Brand Landscapes in Pastel Meadows. For the bowl I used my felted bowl pattern. For the blanket, I just cast on stitches on a number 15 needle until it seemed about the right width and did seed stitch for the first and last three rows, and the first and last three stitches on each end of the row. I obviously did the rest in stockinette stitch.

Then, for Kate I made fingerless gloves since she’s always cold and works at the computer a lot:

I used Plymouth’s Baby Alpaca Grande (one of my favorite yarns) in 2691. I used the same pattern that I made the Noro Kureyon Fingerless Mitts from, but shortened the length.
