“Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart,

it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”

Another sweet little baby blanket for Anna Raine

who is scheduled to arrive Monday, June 30.

 

I had originally planned to do a Granny Square blanket. 

The more I worked on it, the more unhappy I became with it.

I ripped it out and waited for inspiration.  It finally came in the mail last Friday.

This pattern was from Simply Crochet, Issue 19. 

This is the first time I have attempted something other than a

Granny square, ripple or stripe.

 

The border was really fun to work up.  I changed up the heart border that the pattern called for with just a simple scalloped border.  I will definitely try the heart border on my next one.

Ta-Dah...one sweet little blanket.  Perfect size for a crib or a stroller. 

Also perfect size to wrap up a beautiful little girl to hold and give lots of kisses to.

 

I love the waffle looking border!

 

All wrapped up and ready to go!

Happy Gratitudes (1-15)

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”

Melody Beattie
