This was a crochet round ripple blanket, of course done in blue and white. This blanket was started on September 24 the day he was born. His parents chose not to know the sex of the baby during the pregnancy so I couldn't begin it till he was born. It was finished a week later.
I had to take a few photos of it before mailing it out west. But in November I'll be able to take photos of him with his blanket as we are heading out west for the month of November.
The colours make it perfect to share with Blue Monday and of course I couldn't resist making a mosaic collection of the photos to share with Mosaic Monday
You put all us knitters to shame, Linda - finishing a big blanket like that in such short time. I usually go generic when making blankets because I have to start them the day the pregnancy is announced to get them done in time. Bet you can't wait to get your hands on your new grandson - there's nothing like it. Congratulations
ReplyDeleteLinda you certainly knit up a storm in a very short time , it is gorgeous and I am sure your new grandson will be toasty warm in it...
ReplyDeleteI have to say knowing the sex of a child before birth is a trend but I like the surprise makes labour worth it....
Heather, I do find that crochet works up faster than knitting. When I set my mind to completing something I usually get it done in time.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work...well done you!
ReplyDeleteLucky little boy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you, Linda!
Oh they will cherish that pretty blanket for a long long time. Very pretty. Congrats on the new grandson too!
