A Matched Set...My colleague and his wife are adopting not one, but two toddlers this week. The siblings are twins, a boy and girl who were born in Bulgaria, and turned 2 last Sunday. They have been working their way through the adoption process for the last two years and yesterday they left on the final trip to pick up the kids and bring them home. They are very excited.
So, in my usual fashion, I made them blankets for the kids. This is the first time I have made two blankets at the same time. And since they are twins, I used the same pattern for each. A pattern I have used a lot, simple and quick.
I decided to go for a more traditional color scheme, blues and pinks, but didn't go with strictly traditional pastels. Using a darker blue and darker pink as part of each. Made the body of each one first then the borders to finish them, to be sure they were a matched set done the same way.
The new parents, were just thrilled. I liked the way they came out. Hopefully, they'll actually get to use them sometime in this winter.
