Knit one... and two...

Hello all... I'm Autumn...

I've been learning to quilt at Nan's elbow, when we are able to get together.  I learned to cross-stitch from my grandmother.  My mother, Mary taught me to crochet and tried to teach me to knit. 

Finally I bought a book and taught myself how to knit!

So I know this site is mainly for quilts but Nan said I could post anything I made here...

This is a garter stitched Lime light green and black for one of the children in the family for Christmas..She is mad about neon green!  I crocheted a simple boarder on single crochet stitch and double crochet stitch . It blinds me! LOL but I think she'll love it!



For our nephew in burgandy double moss stitch with a garter stitch boarder.  The yarn that started this blanket came from Momma Molly, so it will be history for him to always hold on too.  I went with Burgandy instead of bright red so this blanket will be perfect for our nephew at any age.

Already working on another blanket for another child of the family... I love knitting for them.  The thought of the kids dragging these things around or curled up under staying warm....

Hope you all enjoyed!
