I started this baby blanket in March for a friend of mine. The baby was born in August and just finished it last night! The picture was taken in the middle of blocking. I used the Shoreline Baby pattern from Ravelry. This definitely wasn't my favorite baby blanket to knit and I think it's because the verigations in the yarn didn't match the size of the blocks in the entrelac pattern. By the time I realized it was too late because I couldn't return the yarn. I'm happy it's done and I can move onto some other baby blankets I have lined up!

FH and I are having a book themed wedding. I've been working with thepapergirl on Etsy for book bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Lindy has been awesome to work with! She has responded to all of my questions pretty much immediately and is much cheaper than real flowers. She is going to use bows from my moms wedding dress to hold together mine and my sister's (MOH) bouquets. I honestly can't say enough good things and would highly recommend her.

We ended up getting 1 bridal bouquet, 1 MOH bouquet that's a little larger than the bridesmaids, 7 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 11 boutonnieres for $720 including shipping

I'm so excited! We've been getting so much great feedback as guests have received them. Here's the proof. They're postcards, so this is the front. The back says to "Book the Date" with some details of where, when and our website.

We have a literary/book theme going and I had planned to do centerpieces with hard cover books. However, I feel like our theme is getting to be overbearing which is why I'm considering floral arrangements now. I didn't see any on pinterest that I loved, so I would love some inspiration from you guys!

I would love to have friends and family provide everything for our wedding and only have to pay for my dress and photography!

We're a year out today (AHH!) and my mom tasked us with determining menu and getting an idea of guest count for an after party so we can reserve an area in the hotel. Does anyone have any idea what percentage of guests would come? Google didn't turn anything up. Any help is appreciated!

Hi Everyone! I posted this request a few months ago. As I mentioned in that post, I decided to make the washclothes but sew them into a blanket.

I mostly used Encore Worsted yarn in different colors. The patterns were pretty straight forward. I'm not too familiar with reading a chart so I used the written out instructions.

I knitted all 9 of the panels. Then I sewed the 3 separate vertical strips. Next I used the mattress stitch to sew the 3 strips together. After that I blocked the whole blanket. I was really nervous because I had never blocked before but a friend helped me out. I wet the blanket then used a steam i

Hi Everyone, a friend of mine is pregnant and the nursery will be Super Mario themed. I typically make baby blankets, but I would like to make this little guy/girl a Super Mario stuffed animal or blanket. Does anyone have a pattern I can use?

I have never made a stuffed animal before but I consider myself an intermediate knitter. I also checked on Ravelry but didn't see anything I liked. Most of them were crochet patterns.

If I don't find a pattern I like, I will just make the blanket I normally do!

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone for your help! I think I am going to make a blanket out of 9 of the washcloth patterns from Periwinkle Dragon on Ravelry
