My best friend Brian got married to the wonderful and beautiful Anya on 6/7/08. They also had a traditional Korean wedding in which we all participated on June 21. Thank you to Brian and Anya for including me in their special day! My photos can be found here.

In anticipation of the impending arrival of my nephew, I have knitted two pairs of baby booties from the pattern Ruth’s Perfect Baby Booties, and a hat of my own pattern. The first pair is made with Schoeller Esslinger Fortissima Cotton (fingering weight) on US 2 needles, and are newborn-sized. The second pair is made with Katia Mississippi Print (also fingering) on US 3 needles, and should fit a 3-6 month old.

Here is the baby quilt I made for my nephew, who is due in early July. The printed fabrics feature giraffes, tigers, elephants and monkeys, and the color scheme matches his room. I hope he enjoys this blankie for years! I did a lot of quilting back when I was in college (almost 10 years ago) but haven’t done any quilting in the past few years. Doing this quilt has inspired me to do get back into quilting. I’m thinking of my next project, maybe a wall hanging. I also dug out my old fabric stash and found a bunch of quilt squares I had cut out and am thinking of making them into a throw quilt.

I found this awesome photo here.
