The book baby safely arrived this weekend and we are rejoicing!
I finished her little blanket and cap just in time to
take them to the hospital to welcome her.
I tend to just "go with it" when I crochet. This "pattern" starts with knitting
a square (actually a dishrag pattern) and then I crochet around the square
(sometimes turning it into a rectangle) until I get to the size I want.
The flower is another story and each one turns out a
little differently, but at least they do turn out.
I think it adds so much style to the cap.
But all knitting aside, this is a seriously beautiful little girl born to some very
special new parents, young friends of ours. I'm looking forward to watching
her grow up. And her mama was so sweet to text me pics as they went home
from the hospital. The hat matched the planned outfit.
I have no doubt that she'll teach her little one to also be a thoughtful young woman.
Oh, she is just adorable! Look at that sweet smile. Precious. Is this a new grandbaby for you? The hat and blanket are very pretty. So sweet. :)

ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful baby.
ReplyDeleteI laughed about how your knitting projects turn out. When I crochet, it is never the same from one project to the next. And I don't think I could ever duplicate a flower.
A sweet little girl the hat is good too.
