SUN and STARS Crochet Blanket was designed specifically for my first grandchild. It is my very first attempt at designing a motif blanket. I had long resisted granny squares for the simple fact of having to hide all those ends, and then attaching all those motifs to each other. What a chore!
However, when the time came to making something really special for my daughter's first born, I decided to create something totally new and different from any other baby blanket or afghan blanket I have seen. I hope you like the result? I know for a fact my daughter loved it.
WHY I HAVEN'T POSTED FOR A WHILE
Simply I am suffering with a lovely pinched nerve in my neck, caused obviously by too much crochet and too much pattern designing, and too much computer work, and too much mouse use; not to mention the unforgivable cursed word - AGING and early signs of degenerative disc disease. SOUNDS AWFUL... but it really is manageable. I just have to undergo physiotherapy and acupuncture and totally limit my activities which aggravate the situation. I am now in my 7th week and starting to feel normal again, but I think the days of 8-10 hours of crochet are gone for me. Boo hoo!
HISTORY:
The design of this motif afghan blanket began in February 2012, and it's creation took a few months, due to other more urgent projects needing my attention, so it's completion was in May 2012, in plenty of time for the birth of baby girl CC born on June 30, 2012. Yes, of course I was there for the birth!
