So I might have been a day late but GOD is SO GOOD. I remembered I had started a baby blanket over a year ago, unfortunately the baby came early and did not make it, so I stopped making the blanket. Well there was a small stripe of the blue in the blanket, I ripped it out and it was exactly enough to get the main blanket to the required 28". Then I made the hood with white and did the edging in white to tie it all together and there it is.
I LOVE THIS BLANKET. It was the easiest blanket I have ever made and I don't think it took more then 15 hours to make from start to finish. It's a free Lion Brand pattern, crocheted hooded baby blanket, in case anyone wants to try it.
Since it didn't get to the baby shower, I will just save it and bring it to the hospital when she has the baby. She is due the beginning of December.
I think we might have found a screened cap for the wood stove chimney on EBAY to stop the birds from invading my space. I just have to wait until I have the $50 extra dollars to order it.
I can't believe as of tomorrow I am looking at 10 days to surgery. I have another jam packed week ahead...
Monday- Swimming and Physical therapy on monster machines
Tuesday- Swimming and 6 month check up with Primary DR
Wednesday- Swimming and Monster machines and church
Thursday- Swimming and Pre Admission stuff at the hospital and Support group
Friday- Swimming, and Adam comes
Saturday??? Possibly an early birthday dinner with the family
Sunday- Church and maybe swimming with Adam and my niece
It's a wonder I have any time to knit at all. Plus I expect to have a delivery for those crocheted slippers soon to and I will want to get started on those.
And you wouldn't believe on the amount of TV I have on the DVR that I have not watched yet.
Oh and do you remember the mystery witch I showed on my blog a few days ago? The pattern is now available at least on Ravelry as a download for $3.33. Thanks Shelly for spotting that.
I am feeling a little hungry, it's almost 8PM I guess it is time to get some dinner finally, ya think?
Tomorrow Regis and I will announce the winner of last weeks contest. One more chance after this, so make sure to come back next week to get entered, OK?

The blanket is just gorgeous! I declare you do crochet fast. I do everything so snail paced.
I'm so glad you were able to finish the blanket! It looks awesome. Your week sounds as busy as mine. One day/hour at a time!!!
God definitely works in mysterious ways. He did help you finish that blanket and it's just lovely! You definitely have a busy week ahead. Are you growing webbed feet yet? YOu can swim with the duckies very soon. :)
*hugs*
I can't wait (big surprise) until she gives you the yarn and the pattern. Explain to me why I'm so excited about this?? Yep, you can't. me neither, but I am.
I'm loving this baby blanket. I might have to make one just cos I love it, and you KNOW I don't DO that!!!!
Here's to a great tomorrow, my swimming fish! HEY, what IS your favorite sea creature? I don't think I've ever heard this one.
I made it back just in time to see the blankie. It's so pretty. What a great idea to add the hood and white edging.
Only 10 days! How exciting...hope you aren't too nervous. Any kind of procedure always makes me nervous..I'm a wimp.
Hugs!
The baby blanket is gorgeous! That was really lucky finding the extra yarn to finish :) You certainly are blessed!! Final count down begins...
