Baby, it might be cold outside, brrrrrrrrrr, but inside it is warm and toasty and I have my crochet! I did finish hooking on the baby afghan that I have been working on for several weeks. I love the pattern, it was a no-brainer, so to speak, because the pattern was a simple shell. Anyone interested in this pattern can find it in the small leaflet-type book called KNITTING & CROCHET from Simplicity (#0488). There is also a sweater and bonnet pattern to match. I do believe in an earlier posting I said there were booties, but I was wrong, sorry. I am sure if you are quite crafty you could make booties to match. I did make a change to the edge of the blanket because I didn't like the one written in the book. I did 3 rows of edging, the first row is just like the pattern as it is sc all around the blanket. My second row I did a sc, ch2, sc type of open work skipping 1sc on the previous row to allow for a narrow ribbon to be woven on all sides. The third row I did a simple shell of sc1, dc1, sc1 in each ch2 space of the previous row.

Done crocheting on the baby afghan. |

Made my own edge instead of the one written in the pattern book. |

The corners turned out perfect! |
I have yet to decide if I want to weave a narrow ribbon through that edging. What do you think?? Maybe a pretty yellow or minty green?? I think I will do the sweater and bonnet in the near future. I am wanting to do something else. Now that shouldn't surprise anyone, now should it, because whatever you are doing always seems more interesting to me than what I am doing, LOL........many happy days doing whatever your little heart desires.......be happy!
Very pretty Susanne, I think a ribbon would be nice. A soft yellow to match the yarn or, how about polka dot??
