Knitting - Jumpers and Bright Wool

I really need to get some picture of my knitting, I've finally finished my friends baby owl jumper - no that isn't a jumper for a baby owl, it's a jumper with owls on for my friends baby!!! Here's what it looks like from the site I got the pattern from http://katedaviesdesigns.com/designs/o-w-l-s/.

I'm in the process of knitting something which is extremely bright for my friends birthday - and I might have to ask Verna at work for some help as it says to crochet around the edges!! Crochet!!!!!!!!!!! Blimey I just taught myself this morning how to purl into the front and back of the stitch let alone crochet!! I must also take a picture of it before I sew it up as it's a very odd shape and I'm not sure how it'll look in the end! Once completed I will add some pictures here. After that I will be finishing off a very basic blanket also for my friends baby, but I'm off to see her in a couple of weeks and so I want it all finished by then... then maybe time to make myself something...

Another Baby Blanket

This is the first complicated item I knitted for a friends baby. I was given the pattern and the wool. When I thought it looked like it was going wrong I was told to keep following the pattern. Which seems the best advice as it turned out well it the end. And it was the first time I'd picked up stitches, which I think went well. :-D

Here's one of my first baby blankets I made. It should really have been knitted all in lace, but I unpicked it too many times and I was starting to no longer like the blanket, so I put in the large knitted section in the middle. I loved this in the end :)
