Warm Woolies Lands' End Campaign

I recently finished two projects for the Warm Woolies Lands' End campaign. The yarn was donated by Lands' End to Warm Woolies volunteers; the finished projects will be distributed around Christmas time to tribal reservations. More info about this campaign can be found here.

From the Heart Baby Blanket. This blanket was designed by Lismi. (Please check her website for all of her wonderful designs.)

014
The blanket is about 44 x 46 inches and weighs almost 3 lbs. It is not your typical baby blanket, but it surely will keep a child warm and toasty this winter.

Steppe Ahead Vest. This vest was supposed to be a sweater, but I ran out of yarn for the sleeves. The pattern is one of my favorites and was written by Irina Makarow
