When we went to Ocean Shores last month, I had just started a star shaped baby blanket made from "baby acrylic" (kind of like baby alpaca, but fake). The pattern also called for it to be made from "bulky" yarn, but I really wanted to do this pretty pastel that I'd found (the picture doesn't do it justice, the colors were much brighter, but the "shade" is right) so even with the double crochet stitch, it was pretty slow going to get it bigger - at about 1/4 inch per row.
And I got it done, just in time for the baby to be born. - However, I forgot to take a picture of it before I sent it off to my sister. So she sent me prints - her camera is digital, but the machine that made the cd's at Walgreen's was broken, so here are pictures of her pictures - not the best, but that way you can see Anthony, our "new baby" (her grandson) too.
He is living with his other grandma - not a good situation with the parents, lets just say they are less than responsible people... but the other grandma is a nice lady and she and my sis are getting along - I also sent Anthony some sleepers and buntings from our local kids consignment store - and a pretty bar of fragrent homemade soap to the grandma - I know she's going to have some "Calgon take me away moments" before this little guy grows up.
