I had a special request from a new customer recently- to make a baby blanket for her son. He has literally loved his original one to pieces, and is in desperate need of a replacement.

The first stop after the snowstorm: the yarn store! I found this gorgeous soft baby blue that is perfect for the job (lapis by Bernat Satin).

My customer is leaving the design up to me, but she shared that she likes the puff or popcorn stitch. I dug out my stitch books, and came up with this as the design.

I'm about a third of the way finished with this blanket, and I'm loving the change of pace. It's a new yarn to work with, new stitches, a new project- just the cure for cabin fever. Well, OK. Maybe not a cure, but a decent Rx. With 10-20 more inches of snow predicted for the next 24 hours, I'll take any comfort I can get!
I wish you warm in all that snow! 10-20 more inches is crazy!

ReplyDeleteI too am working on a crochet project during the blizzard here in New Jersey. I knew we would be snowed in for a couple of days, so I am diligently working on a light springtime scarf. Yes, spring. It is just around the corner, isn't it? Victoria
