Charlotte's Baby Blanket

Old Shale Baby Blanket by Brooklyn Tweed, after blocking.

Boxed up and ready to ship, just had to add the CU sleeper to go with.
A special friend of mine just had a baby, so I had to make something extra-special for her.  This got a little dull to knit, but it looked so beautiful it's hard to complain!  Blocking got a lot of extra dimension, and gave it a really nice drape.  Perfect for a baby.

Mary's Shrug

Mary's Shrug
 Mary needed a little shrug to go over a very tiny dress for her band concert.  I found a few patterns but everything was too big, and not exactly what we were after, so I dove in with some yarn and needles and this is what I came up with.  I even self-published a free pattern on Ravelry.com, my first of what I hope are many.  It's fun to see so many people favorite it and download it.  I'm hoping someone else actually knit it, too!  Here's a link to the free download of the Just Right Tween Shrug.
