A Soft Blue and Gray Whisper of a Woobie

This soft-hued woobie was custom made as part of a two-part order for a double baby shower! How fun! I can't wait to see pics of little baby Nicholas snuggled up tight with his woobie when he joins us here on Planet Earth :)

Below, you'll see I took some photos of the wrapped gifts before I parted with them... I'm loving the special little twist I added to the gift wrap. Nothing like a little tiny floral touch to make the gift really pop!

Chartreuse & Gray Modern Woobie

There's always something new to learn in the world of knitting and crocheting. I'm happy to say I challenged myself to learn a new technique that seemed hard, but once I got it down, turned out to be super easy! I present to you my newest creation, this chartreuse and gray woobie with an "i-cord" edge. The lady who invented this edge technique called it an Idiot Cord because it was so easy she wondered why no one had thought of it before. And the people of the knitting world have deemed it the "i-cord". I guess they don't want to go around saying Idiot Cord. Their loss, it's kind of fun!

Basket Weave Woobie with Garter Stitch Border

I've been trying some new stitch patterns lately, like this basket weave woobie I just finished. It makes for an interesting texture! The only thing with patterns that give more texture is that a lot of them create a "right side" and a "wrong side" of the work. You can tell the wrong side because it's like looking at the inside of a knit sweater. But I'll be damned, the extra beautiful side more than makes up for having a wrong side!
