J under (knitted) water. I have finished the blanket – yay!
At the end, there was not enough yarn left to knit the last corner … Hence, I decided on a “cuddle corner” made of a fluffy yarn in matching colors that my lovely neighbour gave me.
Now, I like to imagine the blanket’s future owner (once the art project is done) to choose it not despite but because of that soft and somewhat “hairy” corner.
Who knows? After all, it is a kid size blanket …
Remember I made a blanket for Peter? Finally last week we met and I must say: he is adorable. I don’t think I have ever seen such a pretty little boy (other than J of course) with so cute little feet.
His parents loved the vintage look of my “circles in granny squares” blanket and I sure hope so does he – one day …
Here is the picture I received this morning:
It’s that time of the year. We were gone for a few days. Germany, Belgium, France …
No wonder my crocheting went well 🙂 There is progress, can you tell? Another 27 circles to go.
Just like every other kid, J wanted to watch ALL the games and of course I would not let him (too many, too late). However, he got to watch quite a few and soccer would resume power in our house …
After a while, I found myself crocheting in rounds …
Even J‘s birthday cake (he is TEN now!) was a soccer field
When watching the games – did you pay attention to the short intro with each player being introduced? Well, here’s my son’s artwork: something between the presentation of a soccer player and crochet (I filmed him, turning and crossing his arms, but somehow I can’t get the video on here. Too bad).
Three weeks ago, my cousin had another baby: “boy N°3.” His name is Peter and the cousin asked for a blanket for her little son. (Isn’t it always nice to be asked?!)
Of course, I started crocheting at once 🙂
Last night the blanket was done: blue circles on white, 25 squares, joined as I went. Classic granny style, an easy task, lightweight and airy. I just need to block it (blocking is magic!) but couldn’t wait to take (and share) a picture.
As soon as the blanket is blocked and dry, we’ll be ready to meet the young man!
This is the baby blanket I made for “boy N°1” – Peter’s eldest brother. Supposedly, he still uses it when napping.
Now that I come to think of it – I never made a blanket for the second little boy. Neither knitted, nor crochet. Well, … maybe I should get back to my needles …
