Meet Gabby. This was a blanket I crocheted last year. Quite a simple theme, white wool with pink ribbon and baby pink bows for a lovely little girl. I remember feeling elated when this blanket was completed, it seemed to take forever but she was so worth the wait. She ended up timeless, beautiful, classical. Just lovely.
Gabby was followed by her sister Izzy. A beautiful lemon coloured blanket with white ribbon and bows. A little ray of sunshine.
Then sarah was finally finished for my very own C. A very pretty lilac coloured wool with white ribbons and bows, c still loves cuddling up with this blanket.
After sarah things went quiet. My husband and I went through a really tough time together and crocheting took a back step in my life. In January I was asked by a friend to crochet a blanket for our other friend. I hadn't picked up my hook in months but once I did there was no stopping me.
Andrea and George were created together for a very special little boy who is due to arrive next week. Andrea was made using a very simple yet effective white wool with blue ribbon and embellishment. George on the other hand was a blue speckled wool with white ribbon and bows.
Following my success with Andrea and George two more requests were made, both for baby girls. The first to be completed was Rebecca. I was worried about Rebecca. As you can see from all of the above descriptions most requests use a contrasting colour scheme. Rebecca however was to be created using pink wool, with pink ribbon and pink embellishments. I was unsure as to how she would turn out she has actually ended up being my favourite blanket.
My next two orders are fun I can't wait to finish them. I'm also planning on a special Easter blanket for C.
