I made this gorgeous thing for my cousin in Indiana. I named it for her. But no, Harriet is not her real name, just something silly we came up with while playing around with my Mom. But we rarely use each other’s real names anymore, just our nicknames, Harriet and Mildred. Anyway, I had promised […]

Hugs and Kisses Baby Blankets
I had three granddaughters make their appearance into this crazy world recently. One born in late September, and fraternal twins born in late December. I made each of them one of these blankets, but not identical in color. The pattern is free, and can be found on the Crochet Crowd website. There are also YouTube […]

I’m really beginning to enjoy making graph blankets, although they are quite time consuming and can be a bit intimidating! Maybe next time I’ll try one with […]

In the border I also used solid white Lion Brand® Pound of Love™, followed by more of the Faerie Cake color. I do […]
