I like them both! Love the colors on that Granny Baby Blanket.

I do both, crochet and knit, but I 'see' knitting in my brain much better… make sense?

Why do you have to be one or the other? Let me know when you're ready for the joining of those squares. Quite simply, when you do the final round, instead of a ch 1 in between groups of 3 dc, do a slip stitch or a single crochet into the coordinating ch 1 space on another block, and you've just "joined as you go" Not that I hate seaming. It's just dang. Awww, bless your heart. Why do you have to be one or the other? Let me know when you're ready for the joining of those squares.

We're twins. I also just finished a crocheted baby blanket, even though I am definitely NOT a crocheter. ;) No, really, I'm not. If I were, it wouldn't have taken 10 months to finish it, right? <br /><br />Next up: a spiral sweater... although, come to think of it, that has taken me a while, too! Haha! We're twins.

He's now 23. I always loved that book!<br /><br />I keep thinking about crocheting too, and I have a few friends who do it really well. I may have to take that step soon.
