Here She Be




Posting this for all the "crafties" out there....

I designed and knitted this baby afghan with the tree of life, the rocks of Newfoundland, a lighthouse for safe harbour and dreams of a life surrounded by flowers with diamonds for her parents.

Fantabulous! A family heirloom to carry dreams from generation to generation.

I love the edging round the frame... now to work out how you did it!

About 50 hours I figure, the flower edging takes a while - I disciplined myself to do an hour a day on it after breakfast, it is a form of meditation.

What a creative woman you are! How can a child fail to thrive with such a blanket to protect it?

A treasure for a lifetime. I have items my grandmother and my mother made and once in awhile I hold them. I have the skills but haven't used them in years. You have me thinking. It most definitely can be a calming hour a day. No hurry right.

Thanks for showing the picture of the final product. Gorgeous.

That's one hell of a blanket you've created. You are a talented woman. I hope it becomes a well loved heirloom.

Lucky Baby! Clever you! Love for the baby and love for Newfoundland knitted together. There must be a play in there somewhere Wise.
take care,
Betty

so do I but one never knows when it leaves one's hands and there are some who never appreciate any kinds of handiwork but value stuff from Baby Gap much more highly.

I wonder what kind of plot? Maybe a story down the generations of the blanket inhabitors?
