I tried to use every bit of the yarn up that I could. Not my original plan but I just kept adding to it. So of course there has to be booties.
A hat of course.
And before you ask about the book ... well the guests invited to the shower had been asked to each bring a book since the Mom is a school teacher and believes in reading to children every day. (which I agree with) So we're starting her out with her baby's first books. Of course I looked for something about knitting!!
Yes, there's a sweater ...
With buttons that go with the nautical theme ...
You see, Mom & Dad don't want to know if their baby is a boy or girl until after he/she is born. So they're decorating in Navy blue and Pink whales since they live only a few streets from the ocean. I love pink whales!
Here's the blanket that started it all ...
No you're not seeing things either. There's a little more pink left over to make a toy ...
A pink whale!!
What a fun set it was to knit.
I used Cascade Ultra Pima for the yarn and all the details are on my Ravelry pages if you want to know what patterns I used.
Now I'm on to other things ...
Another shawl anyone??

That just takes my breath away! What a gorgeous set!
What a gorgeous set. I fell in love with the first photo and each individual one got better.
And yes I would ask about the book, two of my favourites, Christmas and knitting. Now I have to find my own copy
Oh my! What an extremely generous gift! Everything is so perfect and beautiful.
Reading to kids is AWESOME! Especially when they actually pay attention... I love the set. Pink whales!!!
Oh what a gorgeous set you made. Love the nautical theme too. What a fantastic idea about the books too. I read to my children all the time when they were little and they love reading now.
