I'm late to
Tami's FO Friday party , but I thought that I'd show you anyway . The blanket for my grand daughter is completely finished and ready for her baptism next week . The pattern is Evelyn Clark's
Old Shale crochet baby blanket . It really was quite easy , even for my somewhat rusty crochet skills , but gave me fits at the beginning . I was always one stitch off by the end of the row . Consequently I did more ripping than crocheting . After a short time out , all was well . The yarn is
Berroco Comfort DK , a very nice quality nylon and acrylic yarn . I would have preferred wool , but I wasn't the decider , as they say . I'm pretty happy with though , it's soft and should wear well .
For more Finished objects head on over to
Tami's blog . Have a good weekend !

It's darling! Sure to be an heirloom. And I can't blame the new parents for wanting an easy care blanket!
What a pretty blanket, sweet and classic. I knitted a blanket for charity out of the same yarn and was happy with the durable feel of it.
It turned out great! I always have problems with losing stitches when I try to crochet. Sometimes we all need to take a time out from our crafting projects.
Very nice!
That's a beautiful gift for your granddaughter. I agree, it certainly should become an heirloom
Very pretty. I love the pattern you chose.
Lovely, I am also making a pure white blanket for a baby to be born, I can't think of a pattern. I have added this one to the list of maybe's
