Crochet queen and Rachael & Emma

Lizzy is a crochet queen. She really is. Thanks to the encouragement of Lynn Irving, Lizzy's been learning to crochet all year after I gave her a book titled 'Stich & Bitch - The Happy Hooker'. Charming title, with great pictures and patterns. One of those patterns is a baby blanket, as below:


The book pattern is the stripy one, and Lizzy designed the square one. Both made of acrylic rather than wool to make washing easier, and both with a seatbelt hole. Rather good eh? She's now moving onto other items (but obviously I can't say what, top secret at the moment!).

It was nice that they were finished on time, ready for the arrival of Rachael & Emma Sturgeon. Their parents, Mike & Helen, had suffered the pain of miscarriages and their son William last year being still born, so to actually see Rachael & Emma breathing was very exciting. Mike and Helen are obviously very, very excited; thankful to God for new life; and daunted about raising twins! We look forward to seeing Rachael & Emma outgrowing their crocheted blankets!
