Tidal Pool Baby Blanket

tidalpoolbaby3.jpgtidalpoolcorner.jpg

This plush, snuggly blanket is made with a size N hook so the work goes by fast.    I used a couple of types of yarns, but any super bulky yarns will do.


2 big balls of Bernat Baby Blanket yarn for the main color  About 500 yards of yarn

Seashore Bib

When I made this one I was thinking of my younger son.  He's 21 and we're long past the bib stage - but the design is based on memories of time spent with him.

We lived in Texas, near Padre Island.  We had a morning ritual for any day that the weather permitted.  We would drop his older brother and sister off at school and then go to the beach to spend an hour or so looking for sand dollars and whatever cool stuff the tide had washed up.  

When I was trying to decide what to do with that blue cotton, it reminded me of the water and I thought of my very big (6'2") son when he was a tiny 3 year old - and this is what I ended up with.
