All other crafting has come to a halt while I whip up a baby blanket. I always make one for each of my good friends’ new babies.
Since we’re at a place in life where we’re all building families, that’s a lot of blankets! In mid-2007 through early 2008 I had five or six in a row before it finally slowed down. Then, suddenly, I got word a couple days ago that a good friend who lives two hours away just delivered her second baby and I realized I hadn’t even thought about a blanket. It totally skipped my mind!
I used to be able to throw these together in a day or two, back when I had unlimited time, but now I’ve got more on my plate. That means I have to concentrate on this blanket when I can or the baby will be having her first birthday party before I get it to her! I have an almost-finished embroidery project to share soon, but in the meantime, while I am putting nose to grindstone, here are a few photos of baby blankets I’ve made in the past.
Love the colours in the last pic in particular. I like the post title too – it caught my eye!!
