I originally designed this blanket for my brother’s baby-to-be before we knew whether it was a he or a she. I started referring to the little nugget as Baby M (for Montoya, their last name); hence the name of this project. Since then, I’ve had the delight of becoming an aunt to the cutest baby boy in the entire world that I didn’t also give birth to myself: Jacob Yoshio! But I digress.
For Jacob’s blanket I went with his parents’ preferred shades of calm and calmer, by pairing Sheep(ish) colors Taupe(ish) & White(ish) with just a splash of Turquoise(ish). It would look just as great though, in in a bold magenta & chartreuse or grey & yellow. I’m counting on you people, to work up all kinds of different color variations for me to see–so go nab the pattern today! π

Iβm headed to the first @hhamericas in Houston, so todayβs #tbt post is photos from the first h+h in Chicago in 2022. Coming out of the pandemic, it felt like a luxury being in the same physical space as so many smart, creative people.
#tbt 2010 A print ad (remember those?) from when I was the the International Spokesperson for Caron Yarns. I got the gig ( thank you @cariclement !) shortly after my youngest was born who, btw, is now a senior in high school. π€―
Now, what did I do with the patterns I wrote for the designs in this shot? π€
