Yay! It's done!
I have been working on this new baby blanket for a while now and spent the last two days on the edging alone. The five rounds of edging took almost an entire ball of yarn. Wow.
The edging is the same as my previous blanket, but the body is made with the strawberry lace stitch instead of shells and v-stitches. Plus, this one is longer.
Here's another view of the stitch, which I found in the book, The Harmony Guide to Crochet Stitches:
I am so pleased with it and listed it in my Etsy shop today. Now, of course, I'm ready to start on the next project. So many ideas, where to start?
I am either going to:
a. Make a big pineapple square with rounds and rounds of pretty edging
b. Crochet a big block with a script initial in the center, also with rounds of pretty edging
c. Replicate this gorgeous blanket, but in solid pink
Ugh. They all sound perfect.
Of course, these are all fancy baby girl styles.
I'm taking a break from baby boy blankets as a result of the blue, white and green wavy striped blanket I have listed. I like it, but it is getting no love. I need to rethink the boy blanket thing. Maybe something without pastels??
Anyway, if anyone out there sees this and knows of a great crochet edging book, please pass the name along. I would love some more options. Thanks!
Oh, if anyone is interested in this blanket, here's the link to my Etsy shop and the listing for the blanket: https://www.etsy.com/listing/111152107/handmade-crochet-baby-blanket-with-lacy
