My sister just had her first baby! We're all so excited. Except that she ended up having her baby early and I'm not ready with my gift. I started work on a crochet blanket for her but I thought I still had a couple of weeks at least to work on it. Never mind. I'll have to be a bit late with my present.
I'm making a Victorian Lattice Square blanket for my new niece. I really like this pattern which I made once before in green and fuchsia. I went with a colour I know my sister likes and chose a duck egg blue shade (it looks a bit like baby blue in the photos but it is more duck egg in real life).
So I'm now crocheting furiously to try to get this in the mail this week! Will I make it? I'm being further thwarted because I bought all the balls of this colour that my local wool shop had thinking that would be enough... but no. Luckily I found some online and am waiting for a delivery... hope it comes soon! I managed to make 14 squares so far.
Ooh, congratulations to your sister and the whole family. Babies are wonderful, and so precious. All my good wishes to your sister and the new baby.
