Hello, So this post is a little behind schedule...especially considering I finished Baby's blanket a while back. About a month ago now. It took me just under 1 month to complete this blanket (picking it up once and a while...not consistently every day...if that was the case I am sure I would have been finished by about 2 Weeks) I started "His" Blanket just after our Gender Reveal Party. I went out about 2 days later and picked out these colours for the blanket. I walked into Walmart knowing off hand that I wanted a cream color and a charcoal color...then matching it with the navy was an absolute must...holding them up all together got me so excited to start my project! This is the pattern I worked from...making some adjustments. If you want to know the adjustments just ask and I will comment below ;) Here is the link to the pattern: http://goodknits.com/blog/2012/02/29/crochet-chevron-baby-blanket/ This has been a verse that I often think about while I am pregnant with my Babe's. It still blows my mind how these little human's are created and how they are forming inside of me :) So as I crochet this blanket I often think about my Baby being Knit in my womb <3 You can definitely see the texture of the blanket in the left picture above, I did back loop only to give it this ridge effect. I am totally in love with this pattern and I can see myself making a lot of these blankets over the years for baby shower gifts! Here I am showing off my work. I cannot wait to wrap my little man in this blanket when he arrives :) I am not a complete fan of the border I have on the blanket, but I thought it looked better with a border than without one. I just hate how you can see the little notches bleeding into the cream coloured yarn! Boo! But all in all I am still in love with this blanket! Each stitch worked on was myself thinking of our little bundle of joy to-be and how excited I am to finally meet him. 9 Months feels like an eternity, because the first day finding out to the end of the pregnancy seems to take Forever!
I can't wait to meet you my darling <3 Also just a FYI the title of this post is Vol.2...I did this because this was the same title I named my post for Isaiah's blanket. Although we didn't know the gender...so he got a green blanket. I like this one much more. But the idea is that these are "Baby Blankets" therefore when they are a little older I plan on making them a Quilt of their own (I will have to learn how to quilt..haha) Here is Isaiah's Blanket: http://cynthiamadsen.blogspot.ca/2011/09/made-with-love.html?q=made+with+love Anyways hope you enjoyed this post, there are many more to come on my crafty projects. I am hoping to make a few more things before this little peanut comes into the world. Thanks for stopping by! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia
