Luna's Lullaby Blanky

I've given this precious baby blanket a name, in honour of my first GodDaughter Luna. She is 9months old, so I've decided that I will do this as a test size. Then adapt the pattern as I work it.
I've never had so much passion for a baby blanket before. It has grown in length in the three day's I've been knitting it. It's also miraculously the FIRST project I've worked on exclusively.

I have a few projects in my UFO bin (UnFinsihedObeject), although I am not too enthusiastic about them at the moment. I won't even share the horror contained within, I'll save you from that.

I have my first ever commissioned pieces to start on the weekend after buying the wool. I am super excited. I won't be paid in $, however, I will be paid in a hand-sewn jersey for my daughter! Which she is in need of a nice sturdy polar fleece. The commissioned pieces are 2 matching mummy-daughter pairs of hand gloves. So my plans are to knit something that can be worn all year round and to make up for the equal dollar amount for the polar fleece I will be knitting her son a pair of booties. So I am looking forward to starting those! - My boss pointed out to me that's it's not really a commissioned piece but rather a 'thing-you-have-to-slave-over-and-your-daughter-gets-the-payout'. - He just doesn't understand knitting, he thinks it's boring. BORING? I don't get that.

My plan for #knitom in JULY is to knit some items for a charity.
My GOAL is to make 3 Children's hats, 3 Matching Children's Mittens, 2 Pairs of Adult sized gloves, 1 Adult scarf/cowl and 1 Adult Sized Hat.

My first pattern and wool have already been selected. I will be using a Cake of 80%Acrylic 20% wool in Cherry. I absolutely love it and I can't wait until it has been knitted up. 

The pattern that was chosen for this glorious cake is this Cozy Cowl.

This will be the pattern I knit for the Children's Mittens I have more pinks and purples in my wool stash then I would like to admit but I would love to do a boy specific hat & mitten, a gender neutral & a girl specific.

The Children's Hat chosen.

The Gloves and Adult's Hat have yet to be chosen, if there are any recommendations from fellow knitters please feel free to comment on the blog below. 

Honourable MentionsIf it weren't for the following designers and all their hard works I wouldn't be able to knit the patterns available.
