What could be lovelier than giving a gift you made with your own hands. I made Baby Boy Blue several years ago and gifted it to a friend who was soon to be a Grampa, a first grandchild, a BOY!

Working in a soft blue and white baby soft yarn creating a nice contrast in the stitches. As that little guy grew up his eyes matched this lovely blanket a sky blue that I’ve never seen before in any child.

Learning how to crochet will open up a whole world of gift-giving. Check out the many crochet pattern books at your local craft store or on-line. There are tons of videos out there and instructors who teach this lovely craft. Also, check out CGOA which stands for “Crochet Guild of America” for a whole lot more.
