Congratulations to your friend, Michelle! It’s a quickie (if you knit in the afternoons); I took a couple of weeks ’cause I would do only 1 hour or so in the afternoons…so you might be able to finish it in no time.

I’m working on another (similar) baby blankie, we’ll see how long this one takes me. Have fun knitting it!

A friend (who’s in labor as I type) is having a baby boy named Alex, and I thought how cool would it be to find a pattern named Alex and voila – here I am! This is just perfect, thank you for sharing!

thanks Ruth! I too, will start another one (two more friends just announced their pregnancies) it is a fast knit (and i’m not very fast of a knitter!)

Carolyn, Ruth is right, just surround yourself with like-minded people: start a knitting/crochet/crafts group!

Ours got started when someone put a couple of posts in a Philadelphia forum and a couple of fliers at local restaurants.

Surrounding yourself with crafters does wonders for your projects (finishing, starting, creating goals) or at least it did for me…besides i’ve met a wonderful bunch of girls in the group, so I not only look forward to my knitting projects, but to hang out with them too!

Thanks Carolyn,

I didn’t write a specific pattern; the edges are Moss stitch and the middle is Tulip Lace.

Give me a couple of hours and I’ll write it up! Been meaning to do so anyway.

I just love this blanket and I think you did a very good job. I was wondering how I could get the pattern for it. I have never been on a blog before. I am a lone knitter as I know no one that loves it like I do.So I never get to talk about it –People get bored with me–lol-Carolyn
