My heart crocheting has come to a halt. Or rather, we'll call it an 'interruption' for now, because I fully intend to go back to my joyful heart-making. This temporary distraction is for a really good reason though. A friend is having a baby soon and to me, there are few things as joyful as welcoming a new life into the world!

So I made a beeline to my stash and narrowed my choices down to these - "Impeccable" acrylic yarn.
|
 |
| ...and got to work. No time for much thinking over pattern and color combinations, so I kept it simple. |
 |
| Just your basic granny pattern - sweet, simple and soothing. |
 |
| As I connect the sqaures, my thoughts center around mother and baby. The 'connection' between them symbolized in the process of joining these squares. |
 |
Hooking along, enjoying the comforting process and letting my thoughts run free...pondering the miracle of life...thinking how sweet a baby will look bundled up in this blankie.

I hope you find some soothing, comforting, thoughtful moments in your day :-)
Those granny squares look lovely! The colors you chose are soothing for a baby and for the mother as well. Can't wait to see the end result :)

I bought a couple of balls of the Impeccable at Michaels just before Christmas. I rather like it.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed the great shades they had of the colors they had left! The blanket looks wonderful and will make such a special gift.
Thanks for your kind comments!
