Blanket

Every year at the girls school each classroom fills a basket with different items that go with a theme. Then they auction them off to earn money for the school. The theme for Eadie's class' basket is "baby", so Justin suggested that we each crochet something to put in the basket. He said he would make a hat and I could make mittens. I decided I didn't want to make mittens because they would be so small they would be hard. I decided that I would make a blanket. I have been working my butt off all week since it had to be turned in by Friday and I only started it on Sunday.

My Dad taught me how to crochet when I was 14 but then I didn't do it for about 17 years. At the end of last year I retaught myself how to do it and have made many many things since then. This is the first blanket I have finished. I am very proud of myself and thought it turned out great so I wanted to post it.

After making this it has given me a greater appreciation for my sweet sister-in-law who made me a blanket a few years ago for Christmas. Thanks for all the time you put into my gift Angelic!

By the way honey, how's the hat coming?
