This is how she looked when we brought her home. Yes, all decked out in a ducky outfit. The hat and mittens are made by knitting friend, Tomo. Aren't they super cute! My entire family loves the oh so silly, oh so cute hat. Tomo also makes wonderful things for sale--hats, hairbands, mitts, gloves. Let me know if you are interested to see her wares.
And this is Anya now. Yesterday, to be precise. Yap. It is the same blanket in the pictures above. Made by me. The granny square obsessed me. I made the blanket a month before she made her appearance. I had all this mercerized cotton that I just wanted to get off my hands. Who knew that this would the most used blanket during Anya's first few months? Maybe it is because Suketu loves it--for its car seat-friendly size and colors (he is going through a green phase).
Pattern: Good Old Granny Square
Yarn: Rowan RYC Siena in brown (2.9 skeins) and sage green (3 skeins)

Size: 24 inches * 24 inches

What a little doll! Oh so cute! and what a great blanket and great idea for mercerized cotton - I'm always wondering what to do with my mercerized cotton, I usually do just hats and mary jane baby slippers - love the blanket!
Beautiful baby and beautiful blanket. I've been thinking of doing a granny blanket. You just sold me on the idea!
Oh my she's growing soo quickly. Beautiful baby. And what a great blanket too!
Anya is just beautiful! I love the colours of your blanket. :)

Happy 2nd month baby!

joyeux noël à vous, Tine de Paris
Isn't it amazing how fast they grow and change?! It seems like I just brought Andie home from the hospital and suddenly she's 9 months old and into everything!
such a beautiful baby and blanket!
Thank you Rima for your lovely compliments on the sweaters I made! You're quite the talented lady, thank you for a wonderful pattern!
Can't believe Anya has grown up so big already. She is becoming prettier by the day. Pretty blanket. Even prettier baby.
she is so lovely and so is that blanket!
wish i could figure out how to crochet!
She is just so gorgeous! The blanket does look nice, maybe you will need to crochet another one a bit bigger for when she grows.
Wow, has it been 2 months already? She is adorable! And I can see why the little blanket is so used, it's so pretty.
She is still beautiful! I really love the blanket. Babies in America are raised with too many pastel colors. I love real colors on and around babies. Your granny blankets are so cool, too. I always make many smaller granny squares, but someday I am going to try your method of one giant granny square.
My gosh, she's beautiful. She has such lovely, bright eyes. Very intelligent.
Oh she is so Beautiful... and the colors of the blanket look so pretty around her.
{hugs} to A. Happy 2nd month!
congrats to you!! isn't it amazing how fast these sweet ones grow. just LOVE your photos!
as your babe is turning two months, my little boy will be turning two years! i look at him and he's talking and jumping and laughing and screaming and i'm thinking, "wow...i remember his little bird legs when he was just 6 lbs the day we brought him home."
what a joy. i can see you are enjoying every moment.
(thanks for visiting my blog. SO happy to have connected with you.)
oh...beautiful baby and awesome blanket...beautiful colours
I can't believe it's been two months already! She is so beautiful and getting so big. Love your giant granny square...those colors look so good together
I love the blanket colors, both of them are my fave. She is so precious! Enjoy this time with her.
Your baby is adorable! The colors of the blanket are nicely un-babyish and stain proof too.
She looks beautiful Rima! SHe really is a doll :) Love the blanket and the tiny mittens. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Wishing you and your family...specially baby Anya a Happy New year!
She is sooo, sooo beautiful! Gorgeous, pretty face and that hair!! Love it!
Hope you had a nice christmas. Enjoy new years evening and I wish you all the best for 2010! (but with this wonder around that has to be)

She is preious!
wow - is she ever adorable. and two months old already!
the blanket is great. and boy, i wish i had known about kicking sacks. milo is far too strong these days - but he also doesn't kick anymore. these babies sure do change quickly.
She's growing up so fast and looks just as cute as a button! happy new year!!
What a cutie! And that blanket, so adorable. I have to stop looking at it now, or I'm going to have to go buy some mercerized cotton to make one!
Wow, just gorgoeus!!! She looks so grown up for 2 months, definitely looks like she's been here before.. I love the granny blanket, the colours are gorgeous!!
