Friday Finish

The colors in this picture are a bit off.  This baby blanket is a soft yellow (more yellow than cream) and it is about 30" x 32".
I made this pattern of a crocheted baby blanket for each of our granddaughters when they were born - it's my favorite pattern for a quick baby gift.
The pattern is in a leaflet called Crocheted Afghans For Baby - 8 designs by Carole Rutler Tippet.
I actually misplaced this leaflet and spent 2 years looking for it.  I finally gave up and ordered a used copy from Amazon which arrived last December.  Naturally, while going through a box of quilting miscellany this past January, what did I find at the bottom but my beloved lost leaflet.
Spring cleaning has started here and all but 3 windows are sparkly clean (inside by me and outside by dh).  Clean shiny windows make me want to polish everything.  At my age I am still highly motivated but I think I must rest for the remainder of the day.



As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
