Tuesday: Time to Tackle a Star Blanket

This week, I finished crocheting a baby blanket.  As I have mentioned, several women I know are currently pregnant, so I'm trying to get gifts made in advance. 

I really liked this pattern, found here.  It worked up very quickly.  (Youngest son even commented on how rapidly I finished!) I used the Bernat Pipsqueak yarn, which is incredibly soft.  I like the unusual star shape of the blanket.


What are your favorite gifts to make? 

Thankful thought:  Thanks for super soft yarns and free patterns!

    That is so pretty, Kristi. I would love to learn to knit & crochet. I have done some very basic rectangular things, but nothing with a shape or any kind of clothing. That will be a darling baby gift. I have made quilts (& have many more planned), & I have an adorable teddy bear pattern that I have made many, many times. Sometimes I make a bear to go with the quilt.

    Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my little shabby dress-up for the old Singer. I do love to sew!

This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
