Blankie from Hell & Cherry Fruity Cap

Just when my head started to swell from my amazing knitting abilities, I was put in my place. I started a new project last night (i.e. the blankie from hell) and simply could not figure out the pattern. It's sort of a bobble (which I admit I need practice at) but does not look at all bobble-like when I'm done. It's really called a puff stitch blanket but I can only find instructions for a crochet puff stitch. I'll try again tonight, but this time I'm only going to try the pattern instead of co all 152 stitches and starting the blanket!

On a good note, I've been making a lot of Fruity Caps to sell and give as gifts. I tried a cherry but I'm not sure how i like it. At first I put a brown pipe cleaner up into the long stem so it would bend, but then my mom convinced me that was somewhat dangerous for a little kid. I argued that I'd sewn it in really really REALLY well and that it wouldn't poke through but I thought I'd better rip it all out. Let me tell you that it was sewen in really really REALLY well because I had an awful time getting it out! I replaced it with some fiber fill and it still looks good. It doesn't have the awesome bend I acheived with the pipe cleaner, but now I don't have to worry about some kid getting poked in the eye.
