Donations and Pink and White Ripple Baby blanket
While visiting our 20 year old grandson Erick in the hospital today, we donated 57 baby blankets, cuddle sacks and hats. Erick got to go down to the nursery with us when we made the donation to the nurses. I think it was great for him to see where some of our donations go.
Then I finished up this pink and white ripple blanket this afternoon.

Popcorn Squared Baby Blanket in Yellow
This was a fun blanket to crochet and the pattern went very fast. The pattern can be found here http://oneyarnafteranotherblog.com/category/crochet-patterns/ I use Lions Brand Pound of Love yarn and a H hook. As the pattern didn't have a finished edging, I just did a simple double crochet then a single crochet for the edging.

Blue Green Ocean Waves Baby Blanket
It seems I have been working on this baby blanket forever. Finally finished it last night while baby-sitting. It seemed like forever as I stopped and read 3 books before the blanket was done. I love series books and couldn't stop reading.

Too much yarn???
I went to AC Moore this morning and got some yarn on sale. After we got home a package of yarn was delivered. With what I got yesterday I think I have almost enough yarn to get me through the winter. I say almost because there will probably be another good sale coming up.
