Crochet "Chat"

[lovemychix]

This is the border I did on the baby blanket I was talking about. It was easy and fun to do. I just loved my homemade flannel blankets that I got for my babies and I wanted to add my crochet to them just not the hemmed edge. I was really happy with it. With the extra material I made 2 burbies and a bib. This blanket is huge.

Way going to be a toddler blanket plus. I know she is so going to love it. I do. She loves puppies and so that is why I picked that material. My next one is a baseball lover. All these new babies.

Thank God it's not me.

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm having any more and I say "for heavens sake I'm 34 yrs. old..... I just had a baby. I did my career for awhile and now I'm at home and the family thinks since I do daycare I should have a housefull.

It is so easy just blanket stitch around the outside about a quarter of an inch then crochet any edging you want. I just looked online and found this one. Next time I do one of these in flannel I am going to sew and turn inside out so it doesn't unravel. I washed the material before and after crocheting and it didn't to bad. I did do a single stitch around the very outerside on this one but I will def. do the stitching and turn it around next time just to be sure. This is my first attempt at a crochet edge.

The blanket is so cuddly now my kids want one and of course my daugher says she wants a chicken one after having her crochet chickens an all.

Update: Syd is just as crazy bout chicks as me.

She just brought me a book that she found at the library that has a Yokohama Chicken.

I'm so glad I share my passion with my kid. Actually she was the one that started it all...like I said before. It was to be!

Great work, Chix! I love that snuggly blanket!
And hey, I'm 37!

So it could still happen to you!

But I'll let you off the hook since you said you just had a baby.

And I am taking my old preggers body to bed now.

Good Night All!
