After rushing to make a baby blanket in a week for the last baby shower, I decided to make up a few ahead. Here's the first, for someone who's having a boy.

A free form red leaf. I wanted it to be all lopsided. Nature is rarely symmetrical.

I call this "The Red Flat Thing". It's a red flat thing.

Here are some little crocheted flowers. I was just having fun at lunch time.

I added leaves to this crocheted flower.

This is a little flower that I crocheted.

 Here is a baby blanket that I made in a week. I thought I had a month, and then found out differently. Yes, my right hand and wrist are a bit sore, but it's done, so I'm happy.

Here is a close up showing the edge. Mom suggested that I do a single stitch around the edges to keep the corners from curling. I really like the way it adds a bit of polish to the finished project.
