It's Twins!

A friend is expecting precious twin girls - identical! - and so OF COURSE there had to be special baby blankets made. Also a card!

Supplies: papers & sticker from Echo Park; buttons & pearls from Dollarama

The onesies were fussy-cut from a piece of patterned paper. Woot! Insta-embellie.

For the blankets, I wanted to have matching-but-not-identical blankets. I modified an existing pattern from Red Heart to use the 'bobble' motif, with shorter & fewer strips.  I also added a frilly border to suit a baby girl. (By the way, you should totally check out the original blanket. I had fun showing that picture while I was working on these...)

One blanket is done in yellow & pink with a white border; the other is in purple & white with a pink border. You can click to get a better view - it's hard to photograph something this big. (Actually, what it is, is hard to find a big enough clear space to lay it out...)

Each blanket measures 39" square.

AND, here's an awesome 'jeez I need a maid' shot: notice the dental molds sitting on the desk? Empty camera box? Cat on the right, on a sleeping bag that doesn't belong in the living room? 

If you are interested in the modifications I made to the pattern, drop me an email & I'll write them down for you!  I love the texture of the bobbles - each blanket used the equivalent of 2 large Super Saver balls of yarn, baby/sport weight. They will be nice & warm!
