I just finished a beautiful baby afghan that will go to my niece's new baby. She is expecting in September and the shower is this Saturday. I loved knitting this pattern too. I was in the Debbie Macomber book- "Hannah's List".<br />
The only dilema will be to give the pink or the green, since they didn't want to know the what they were having ahead of time.LeAnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02185042595093709135noreply@blogger.com0
