Sorry... I Forgot!

He's gorgeous, he will make you laugh, then kick you in the shins and run away... be warned haha!

Ages and ages and ages ago, well a couple of months to be exact. I crocheted a new blanket for my nephew Kody. If you can remember his old one was going to blanket heaven in the sky (got to bribe the kid somehow). I would show you pictures of the old blanket but you may cry with laughter ( if you look closely it has sneeked into the picture above). The blanket was very much loved and carried everywhere, so much so that 1 blanket eventually became 2 and then eventually 3 and still the little guy insisted on carrying it around. That is until- the new blankie came along

He calls it his special blankey (bless!)

and it's only for special occassions i.e. bedtime and when he's feeling ill , not to keen on the feeling ill part but very pleased with, it's special enough to cuddle up to and fall asleep. That's when he's not trying to grab the camera of his auntie to shove it in his mouth.


Love you Kodster, enjoy the blanket! xx

Your nephew is gorgeous, Squirrel! What a joy to be the creator of well loved blankets! You are so clever. I can't get the hang of crochet.

Aw what a gorgeous wee boy - blanket looks lovely too

He looks like a complete MONKEY! Cracking!

When I first started knitting again about four years ago, I did lots of baby blankets for nobody in particular and my mother in law claimed them for various church friends who were having new babies in their families. She ended up givng loads of them out and they began calling them 'Blessing Blankets' because all of the babies were just the same as Kodi - one of them would even sit and watch his go round and round in the washing machine until it came out, got dried and he could have it back!

When she died, I'd got a stash of them for her which she would never give out. So I sent them to the grandmother of that little boy with the message that she was to give out the last of the 'Blessing Blankets' for my mother in law. I never heard what happened with them but I hope they went to loving homes!

His special blanky, that is so sweet!

He looks a right imp! lovely blankies

Lovely blankets and great photos, gorgeous boy, what beautiful eyes
