For Tanya’s son, due on the 17th:  Baby’s First Ball from Knitting For Baby (complete with a jingle bell inside!); a double batch of fish from Lu’s recipe, stitched together and stuffed; bath mitt from Bernat; Baby Genius Burp Cloth & Baby Genius Bib-o-Love from Mason-Dixon Knitting.  All are from Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, which is the yarn I used as the CC on Thing Two’s sweater.  I must admit that I will be glad when I’ve used up the whole huge ball of this stuff b/c I don’t like it.  After just one washing, this stuff doesn’t look so good.

BTW, I’ve found a use for horrible, awful, ugly, scratchy acrylic yarn:  I used it to stuff the ball and the fish!
