Blatant Promotion




Chris' latest pattern is now up on Ravelry.  If you want a quick, easy and beautiful baby afghan/blanket, this is a good pattern to use.

=================
...and what did I do today?

 While the bedding was in the washer and dryer, I crocheted and knitted.  Testing a Queen Size blanket with the same pattern as the baby blanket pattern and a man's winter hat with the most fun pattern of acorns!!!

 Have I got the best life or what?

    That's a great stitch but it looks really hard! I wish we lived close enough that you could teach me to read crochet patterns. Well, I'm off to check the link you posted.

      If it were difficult, I wouldn't have been able to do it. It's the same pattern Chris used for the Twin blanket I made. When that blanket was done, I wondered why it couldn't be used to make a baby blanket--and I had the extra yarn for it. So I just used a smaller hook. It turned out really pretty. We will have knitted patterns later Jean--I know you like to knit. To me, crochet is easier. I hadn't knitted in nearly a decade, but, working on Chris' patterns, I'm getting my knitting groove back. LOL

      Yes, I need to visit you and see real fall. LOL
      I haven't crocheted in so many years and can't seem
      to get it back.

    I'm full of admiration for your talent with the knitting needles and crochet hook. The most I've ever been able to do is counted cross stitch, haaha. xoxo
