Rosamund Baby Blanket Progress

I've been working on the Berroco Rosamund granny square baby blanket pattern off and on between other projects. I'm planning on having it done by the time my next baby arrives in September.
The pattern calls for 12, 18-inch squares to be made in order to make up the blanket. I'm only going to make 9 squares, which will be plenty big for a baby.

Instead of the Berroco yarn I'm using Bernat LuLu and Satin yarns in shades of white, yellow, and lavender. I've been deciding my own color order for the squares and just using the pattern as a guideline for how many rows to make for each square or series of squares.

Kids' Club Skirt

I have the book Greetings from Knit Cafe and have been dying to make the Kids' Club Skirt, although I had no little girl to make it for. I decided to make it for my friend's daughter for her 5th birthday because I thought she would like it. Her mom says she definitely will!

The only thing I did different from the pattern was use garter stitch at the bottom of the skirt instead of the 2x2 ribbing. I didn't want the skirt to pull in at the bottom.

I loved using a bunch of bright yarns I had leftover from other projects, including the 2 magic balls I created for the fun of it. This was a quick, easy knit and a lot of fun. It was so much fun that I can't wait to make another one!
