baby arrived first!

Received news last week that my dear friend had given birth to her gorgeous baby boy. So that really gave me the 'hurry along' in terms of finishing this baby afghan. Finally it is done. Washed, dried, and ready for the giving.

Click here to read about how I made it.

Such beautfiul colours for a boy, a real 'masculine' rug, perfect.

As I said, the colour combination is great, looks even better now that it's finished.

misha - thanks again, it feels good to finally be finished this one... the last half is always a bit of a slog :)

Man, I just love this blanket! I've been saving all my bits of cotton to try one out for myself. Thanks again for sharing!

As the very lucky recipient of the first baby afghan ( http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-want-to-have-another-baby.html ) I can assure everyone that it's lovely and warm, and will get many admiring glances at the supermarket and Mothers' Group. It's a great size to drape over the car seat, and the colours make a beautiful contrast on our navy blue pram.
Thanks again Mrs Goldfish!
