The pattern is Alora from Berroco Designs and I'm knitting it in Berroco Comfort. Here is what I have so far.
My goal is to give this to Amy when I get moved home and can go see her dorm, etc. I. will. not. cry. I promise!

A Dorm Blanket for My Baby Niece
My baby niece is in college. I still remember her first smile. She was so cute. So I am making a blanket for her dorm room.
The pattern is Alora from Berroco Designs and I'm knitting it in Berroco Comfort. Here is what I have so far.
It has a 7 inch garter stitch border, which is... boring nice to do while watching t.v. I don't have to think. The middle is a very complicated cable pattern, though, that will take some concentration. I hope I don't screw it up.

Blog? What blog?
I have a blog? Who knew?! Oh ya... I did. And so did you! (If you are still here anyway.)
Yes, I've been knitting. No, not every day. Its called morning sickness and it sucks and it makes knitting hard. I'm just sayin'. However, I think we're past that stage and I've been knitting up a storm! Ok, not really, but I'm doing better than I was.
So I will update the Finished Projects and Current projects on the side in a minute or so. Most of my yarn is packed up, though. I am moving home to my parents' for the deployment and yarn that won't get used before the beginning of November has been packed. (Don't worry. I can still get to it if necessary.)
Things I have finished...
Matching Suntops for Morgan and Emma. They turned out super cute! They sent me a picture of the girls in their tops and they actually fit, too! I'm getting better at this! ;)
On these, I lengthened the back strap and put buttons on the front. They both needed size 4-5, but I made Morgan's shorter because she's such a peanut! :)
The Scarf is done. The hat is about half way done. It is from Bernat Satin's Cable Hat, Scarf and Mittens set. I'm just using the hat, though. I might try making the mittens another time. They look cute. And warm. :)

I also got a lot of bibs and washcloths done. Not as many as I would have liked, but enough. :)
Right now, I'm making a scarf and hat for Sheryl. It is in Crimson Bernat Satin. Very pretty. The Scarf patten is Falling Water Lace.
