Did you think I'd forgotten about this baby blanket for my friend's new (and probably shivering at this point) baby boy? ;-)
I can't believe it took me so long to finish. To see just how long, you can find some progress pics here and here.
I'm really happy with the finished product though. I didn't want the colors to be too baby-ish so that little Jonah can carry it around with him for years to come. For now, I take comfort that he can finally snuggle up in this blanket that was made just for him.
How was everyone's weekend? I hope you have a lovely Monday.
You've never done a craft show?!!

ReplyDeleteThe blanket looks very soft in the pictures. I think you did a nice job picking the colors. Makes me think of a cool, rainy day like today is in Kentucky.
