My brother and sister in law just had their second child, first son, and he is just the cutest little guy!  I finished the blanket for him just in time, like days before he was born.  Life is really such a miracle.  I had the honor and privelage of watching him be born.  It was so amazing and my sister in law is one tough cookie!

There’s just something so, almost meditative, about crocheting.  Each stitch is filled with love for the one you are making it for.  Without further ado, here is my Gingham Baby Blanket.
