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.

ReplyDeleteAbout 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?
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the picture of the final product. Gorgeous.
Lovely work, WWW.
ReplyDeleteThat's one hell of a blanket you've created. You are a talented woman. I hope it becomes a well loved heirloom.
ReplyDeleteLucky Baby! Clever you! Love for the baby and love for Newfoundland knitted together. There must be a play in there somewhere Wise.
ReplyDeletetake care,
Betty

ReplyDeleteso 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.

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