This is the fourth version of this baby blanket that I have made.  I love this pattern.  It is easy and customizable with endless color combinations.  For this blanket, I crocheted two rounds of each color with one round of white in between.  I like the effect.

 I can't wait to mail this little beauty to its new owner!

Free Pattern: Palm Tree Washcloth

My parents bought a condo in Florida a few years ago, and we all traveled there for Spring Break.  I wanted to bring a housewarming gift, and my first thought was beach-themed washcloths.  I planned on knitting the last washcloth on the plane but somehow I completely forgot to download or print the pattern.  I still wanted to knit one more cloth, so I used an app on my Ipad to quickly sketch a palm tree on a desert island on graph paper.  I used that simple drawing as my pattern and came up with this washcloth.
