Baby Blankets
Thanks for the huge outpouring of support. I'm still fighting the depression, but I think I'm doing better at keeping everything in perspective.
One thing that really helps to boost the self-esteem is a great haircut.
(Not the most detailed hair picture, but you get the idea)
I've spent the last few weeks working hard on a last minute crocheted commision project.
This is the Heirloom Ruffles pattern from Keepsake Baby Afghans. I used a size H hook and 10 skeins of Caron Simply Soft in Jonquil.
Now that that afghan is in the mail, I've had time to work on the ABC blanket. Here's the second row.
S, T,
U, V,
and W
X, Y and Z are just around the corner! So lovely to read your post, Christina. I've been wondering how you are. And that new 'do looks superb on you!

Posted by: Carol at February 10, 2006 06:52 AMLovely to see your back online. The haircut looks fab! The blankets are beautiful.
Posted by: Jacinta at February 10, 2006 05:58 PMGlad to see you are back online! I was literally going to send you an e-mail this weekend to see how you were doing
The hair is very cute, and the blankets are lovely. My daughter has a crocheted blanket my grandmother made her when she was born, and it is still her favorite to take to school for nap time. Yours are sure to become very cherished.
Take care!

Posted by: katie at February 12, 2006 06:59 PMKeep looking up, C. You're a great wife and a wonderful mom, and J and I are thinking of you. I think that alphabet blanket--yours looks great!--may be on my to do list for a friend soon. :)
Posted by: Leslie at February 14, 2006 08:06 AMI was hoping to see you were doing better. It's a nice cut that flatters your face and the projects look good too.
Posted by: Bev at February 17, 2006 04:30 PMHi, I bought the baby afgan book about a month ago. I couldn't seem to get past the second layer of the the border. Actually, I am having a difficult time with the corners of the pattern. I was wonder if you encounter the same problem. I get to the part where it says sc chain 3 sc , (twice). but I don't know what to do with the extra chain three. I am attempting to do it again. In the book it is titled Round three. I don't know if you can explain it better to me. I figured I try. I made the sweet memento. I came out nice. Well, I hope to here from you :)
Dawn (frustrated crocheter) lol
