you got a bandwagon?

Hello, is that a bandwagon? Well let me jump right on it! I am apparently such a huge freaking follower... I have jumped on several bandwagons started by famous knitbloggers recently. I have recently knit a couple of baby items that I only found because of my obsessive reading of knitblogs. These items are for a baby shower that is in October for a child of unknown sex of a friend of mine. (the pics are showing up kinda weird, click on them to see the whole picture. ok?)

First up, a mostly finished Ribbons Baby Blanket from Fibertrends. I found this from reading Grumperina's blog.

Ribbons Baby Blanket

Pattern: Ribbons Baby Blanket
Yarn
: Cotton-Ease by Lionbrand. About 1.5 balls of each color (white, popsical blue and candy blue).
Needles: US 7
Modifications: I didn't do the suggested method of joining in the new colors, therefore, I have a billion ends to weave in. This was a surprisingly fast knit. All together it was very easy as well. I would definitely make this again.

Here's my other follower of a knit. This one is a WIP, but is going so incredibly quickly! I got this one from reading the Yarn Harlot's Blog. It is obviously for the same baby as the blanket.

Ribbons Baby Blanket

Pattern: Tulips, A Colorful Cardigan for Baby by Dream in Color.
Yarn
: Cotton-Ease by Lionbrand. Leftovers from the above blanket. (white, popsical blue and candy blue).
Needles: US 7
Modifications: No modifications besides the yarn substitution. Another knit that is just flying by. I am making the second size which is for 12-18 month olds. I think this pattern is another keeper that will be made time and time again!

One last picture of another work in progress. I'll give the details later! It fits the theme though, I apparently do not have an original thought in my knitting mind..

Love it all! Especially that little baby sweater. I was watching that especially closely on Harlot too but don't know anyone worthy of my (very limited) knitting time who also happens to be having a baby. The colors you chose rock! (cue: Bic lighter in the air)

Why is it so much more fun to knit a project when you know others are doing it/have done it too? I am a bandwagon jumper as well... Beautiful projects!

The blanket and matching sweater are so cute together! That sweater pattern is definitely a keeper.
