She calibrates. She shoots. She runs. She...

...crochets. This is the second baby blanket I made this year. I made it for my friend Chris, whose adorable son was born in January (yes, I'm a little slow). I FINALLY got it finished, and in the mail. Okay, I finished it several weeks ago, but that whole getting to the post office, and knowing WHICH post office I am going to ship from (I regularly deal with post offices in four different zip codes) thing tends to be a problem. I actually bought the yarn back in November, then decided to wait to start the blanket until after the baby was born (since she chose to be surprised instead of finding out the gender ahead of time). I was worried that it might be too much blue for a girl. I realize that brown in a baby blanket is somewhat odd, but she liked the most adorable bedding set, and I was hoping that this would coordinate well with it. I'm not sure if you can make it out, but the pattern has raised lines crocheted, running the opposite direction of the solid blue stripes.

I seriously want to have a baby just to get a blanket from you! Your work is awesome. You are woman, I hear you ROAR! =-)

I too would be willing to have a baby to get a blanket! Or maybe I'd be better off to just buy a doll and you can make a blanket for it! Nanny Sue, ya know!!

That is just precious. Chris is gonna love it!
