Busy, Busy, Busy

I have been a busy crocheter. I have four gifts that I would like to get done before Christmas. Some of these projects are new for me. I'm making a children's sweater and a little girls' top. I have never made any type of clothes. I'm a little intimidated but I want to learn how to make useful things other than blankets. 
I'm hoping that these projects go well and I can add them to my website. I think the trickiest part of the making these gifts are picking out the colors. I don't like picking pink for girls and blue for boys. With all the colors in the world, why pick only two colors? I also know that there are some colors that will never look good for clothes, so this time around I couldn't pick any color. 
The other two gifts are blankets. One is off to college next year and would like a blanket for her bed. The other one is going to be for a newborn in December. I have decided to make a rainbow ripple blanket for the baby. I don't know if it is a boy or girl so I figured rainbow colors will cover it :) 
I will be posting pictures as I get these things done.
I am really going to try to stick to my Christmas/New Year deadline. 


Wish me luck and I'm off to crochet!
