I have continued working on this blanket for Sarah Beth. It's taking longer than the other blankets I usually make because it is bigger, you know, because Sarah Beth isn't a baby. I thought I would end it after the next round of purple, but I don't think it will be quite big enough then. So I plan to do another three rounds (one of each color) after that one. Right now, it is almost three feet square. How do I know when it will be big enough? I don't know; I'll just know. I plan to start another blanket for "Baby Sister" this weekend. She doesn't really need another one, but I would like to take something small and easy to work on in the hospital. Do I really think I will crochet there? Probably not. But I would rather have my yarn and hook and not use it, than not have it and want it. I will probably just hold her the whole time I'm there. Why not? It'll be the only time she'll be an only child.
To see more works in progress, or to add your own, head over to the Place of H.

I was never looking for a way to keep busy in the hospital, but one of my friends said that she and her husband did get bored, so I guess it does happen to some people! You're right -- better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
I guess it just depends on the hospital policies. With my oldest, she wasn't allowed to stay with me all the time, so I did get a little bored, but with the other four I had them all the time. The dr even came to the room to examine them, so I was constantly holding them, rocking, looking at them, etc.
