The Goods
I was so busy sewing that I didn’t get a chance to post any of my creations before the craft fair. The fair was amazing and all of my purses went way too fast, I barely had a chance to say good bye. Now I have to get going on making more....

As you can see, this versatile blanket is good for both playing and afternoon naps. The pattern came from Debbie Stoller’s Stitch ‘N Bitch knitting book, a great guide for teaching yourself to knit. I picked a thicker yarn that...
