National Crochet Month

March is National Crochet Month
I plan to finish this blanket by the end of this month. I give the craft of crochet my humble adoration. I have crocheted off and on since grade school. Sometime before 4th grade or around 4th grade and as recently this afternoon.
March 31st happens to be the birthday of the mom who will be receiving this blanket. August is the birthday of the baby.
Eh
I don't really have much to say.
Last week at my weekly knit/crochet group, the gals holler "You haven't finished that blanket yet?"
That brought on much speculation about the appropriateness of giving a baby blanket to a toddler.
Several suggested that I put it away. Perhaps, I should pull out some chunky weight yarn and complete a new. larger blanket.
I moved forward.

Here we are in December

I took about 3 weeks off.
I used that time to work on another project and let my hands rest.

Today
I am now using a regular bone hook. Putting away that afghan hook had to be the best moment ever.
No. Handing over the edged and blocked blanket will be the day I do my happy dance.
Counting down......
