A baby gift to MOO about

Now that my gifts have been received I can tell you how excited I was to hear that my good friend's daughter was having her first baby. I could make her a knitted toy! But which one? Did they have a theme? Why yes they did. They live in Wisconsin and decorating with a barn theme, the decision was easy.

I was struggling with holding the legs to the body in order to sew it so I used crochet stitch markers, (but forget to take a photo). I did remember to take one when I used them to hold the spots in place for sewing.

Along with the Milk Cow I made a fleece blanket with a simple two row border of single crochets. Full details for both the Milk Cow and the blanket are on my Ravelry project page.

I'm really pleased with how adorable the gift set came out and how well they were received. I need more people to have babies. They are such fun gifts to make. lol
