I'm so glad that I've got something to share finally! I'm not getting nearly as much crocheting done as I would like, but I guess that's what happens when you have a baby.
a close-up so you can see the pattern a little better
John rarely asks me to make a blanket, but he asked me to make this one for one of his friends who is having a baby. I made it a little smaller than the pattern so it can be used in the bassinet or car seat. I had been wanting to make this blanket for a while, but I just never got around to it. Actually, this blanket was one of the few that I could make right now. Since we don't have a yarn store in town (and even WalMart doesn't carry yarn here), I can only use what I have on hand. I hate to order a couple of skeins and have to pay shipping. But I think this blanket turned out nicely. And I love the fact that it didn't cost me anything since I was able to use yarn out of my stash!
What have you been working on lately?

Very pretty and delicate! I like it!
What a talent! This is a skill I would really like to learn. I've been working altering some very inexpensive clothing I found at our Walmart. Just finished turning two dresses into skirts. It was much cheaper by the fabric to make them from scratch.
That's really pretty! I like the pattern a lot. I was telling someone the other day how fast you can crank out baby blankets. :) I'm working on one for my sister-in-law, but it's going very slowly. But like you said, I guess that's what happens when you have a baby!
That's beautiful! I'm sure the new mom and the baby will love it.
Very pretty!! And way to go on using something from your stash! (I've got a box full of yarn that I need to use!) :) (btw... FOF is up if you would like to link up. Sorry I'm quite late today...) :)
This is beautiful! Good for you!
Wow!!!!That is beautiful.:)I am impressed that you are able to do that with a baby in the house.:)I love the colors that you used and using what you already had was a great idea.I am sure it will be a cherished blanket by some little person.:)I have ALWAYS appreciated those homemade gifts the best.They are really special.I wish that I could offer some helpful hints in the fussy baby department.After having eight not fussy babies we experienced a short lived fussy baby stage with Mercy.I linked it to my eating lasanga.After giving in and buying gas drops her fussiness went away.I was so relieved that I never had to use the drops.:)I will pray that the fussiness goes away for your sweet little Mary.:)~Nikki R
