This morning Spring hosted a baby shower for another of our friends, Therese. Since Therese will be moving back to Norway not long after the baby is born, the them was “books and booties”. I gave her one of my favorite books, the ever-delightful Green Eggs and Ham, and I crocheted a car seat blanket. A simple granny square was made more sophisticated by the beautiful Noro yarn. The rich colors motivated me to crochet just a few more stitches until I could see the next color emerge. The Ravelry project page is here.
It was fun to see all of the nice gifts, and even more fun to hold Spring’s little baby girl whenever I could get my hands on her!
What’s your favorite gift to make for babies?
Currently knitting the Iceling Cardigan and Hat. Just finished Baby Chalice Blanket. Fun!
Love the colors in your blanket!
that’s a sexay granny square!
That’s a wonderful blanket!
LOVELY blanket! Adorable. I normally make hats, socks and raggy quilts for babies.
Noro sock yarn went on sale at my LYS a few weeks ago. I had bookmarked the link to the granny square pattern when you published this post. I haven’t crocheted in a while, so it took a few practice swatches. I finally got the hang of it, and I love how it’s turning out! I’m going to crochet until both skeins are gone. Thanks for posting this!
