Baby Sarah Burns Gift Set

And, while I'm uploading pictures that have already been taken, we had a new grand-niece born in the fall, and I managed to complete a baby set for her in time. We knew it was going to be the second girl in that family, so this time I decided to do an all-pink set in Caron's Baby Simply Soft.

First, the baby set from a pattern in an old issue of Workbasket which I've made before (booties weren't included, so I used a pattern from Annie's Free Patterns of the Day for those).

Here's the whole set, including the coordinated baby afghan from the Workbasket pattern, uses a crocheted Shell Stitch, with a special Shell-with-picots edging. (I just smoothed it out rather than blocking it before the picture -- but it machine washes well, so I didn't think any slight irregularities would matter that much!):

Pictures of Mystery Stole 3 at last!

I may have to take another picture of the finished stole, after blocking -- but here at last are pictures of the stole while being blocked. (Click a picture to see larger version.)

First, the beginning part of the stole.











Next, the wing part of the stole.














Finally, two pictures of the entire stole as being blocked (I couldn't get quite high enough to get the far edges completely in the photos).
