Well, tomorrow is Peter's birthday and I, trying to be a good mom, have been working on his present. I have been furiously crocheting a new green blanket to hopefully replace the old, loved to death green blanket of Peter's childhood. Let's first take a look at the old blanket:
Yes, this thing has seen better days. It was run over by the stroller a couple of times, thus the huge holes. There are strings dangling everywhere and it is so stretched out. But Peter loves it! So, I thought what better gift that to crochet a new one, out of the same exact yarn, same color, everything! My plan was great. But then Peter turned into sort of a punk. Here I was, dutifully crocheting and one day last week I asked Peter what his favorite color was. He said, "RED!" WHATTTTT???? You cannot possibly do that, change your favorite color a week before your birthday and especially since your mom is making a GREEN not RED blanket. I then asked him what color his favorite blanket was and he said, "Green." Well, thats something I guess. So, here is the finished product. I hope he will like it, accept it and I hope it is big enough because man I am done crocheting for a few days. :)
