I see the end in site for this baby afghan I’ve been crocheting. I’m on the last section of the darker blue yarn. At this point in the photo, I had just a few rows done, but last night I made more progress, and I’ve got about 9 more rows to go! But, who is counting, right?
Once I get this last section done, I need to figure out the trim. At the very least, I plan to do single crochet down the two sides that are not scalloped, but I may do something around the entire blanket. I’m, obviously, undecided at this point.
While this baby afghan has taken a little longer than some of I have made in the past, I’m really happy with how it is turning out. It’s very soft and squishy. Shell stitch is so awesome for that. Fingers crossed, I get this done within the next few days or at least by the end of the week.

Crocheting is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. You are doing an awesome job. You might consider small fringe on either end unless you are concerned about the baby chewing it. It’s a nice finishing touch.
What I’m actually writing you about is the tutorial on making the loops for earrings. Whew, I have been struggling with this and still need more work. The classes I took had me wrapping the wire and I just don’t get it. Your method at least gives me the opportunity to make something and wear it the same day!
Your site is bookmarked on my computer.
Thanks!

I think a row of single crochet around all four sides might be a good idea, especially if they have to wash it as much as I had to wash my kids’ blankets when they were young.
