I am of the opinion that a house is not a home with out a few blankets crocheted by a loved one. And that every baby should have at least one comfy crocheted blanket in their nursery. So I am fairly predictable at wedding and baby showers. I love crocheting and love having an excuse to crochet. Granny squares area personal favorite of mine, probably because they were one of the first things I learned when I first started crocheting.
The moment I found out my lovely friend Ashley was pregnant with her first little girl I got all sorts of giddy excited to make another baby blanket. I made sure I knew what her colors where and started tossing around ideas in my head. One of my favorite things in the world is making something completely unique as a present for someone that I know. I love seeing the looks on peoples faces when they see something I made just for them.
I ended up making a very basic granny square blanket in the colors of baby Brylee's nursery - silvery grey and a light pink. You cant tell from the pictures but it is slightly bigger than the average baby blanket so that lil miss can continue to use it as she grows.
I just love any thing granny square!
I also created a little basic hat for miss Brylee. A basic grey beanie with a little pink crocheted flower accented with a shiny rhinestone - very Ashley ;)
Maybe more pictures in a later post.
