Knitting (from what I hear) is SKADS harder than crocheting! I don't have to worry about dropping stitches... if I mess up, I can just pull it out or keep on going, whichever I prefer. Crocheting isn't tough at all! <BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks, <B>Kim</B>, for your prayers-- that's exactly what I'm praying for too.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And to <B>Laurie</B>, who wrote me privately and asked how I have time to do all this amidst homeschooling and child rearing and cooking and all the rest, I'd just say this--<BR/><BR/>It is SUCH a blessing to have kiddos who have a routine and are all in bed by 7:30/8pm and have that time each night for Doug and I to curl up and hang out together. That's the time that I use for projects like these. I don't know WHAT I'd do if we didn't have predictable sleep and meal routines in our home. ;) So that's how I do stuff like this. <BR/><BR/><BR/><B>Thanks, everyone,</B> for your kind words. I've enjoyed making these for the kiddos... I'm so glad to be able to share them with you!<BR/>JessJess Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372282510182101716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-46273831921551513152008-03-14T06:28:00.000-05:002008-03-14T06:28:00.000-05:00Ahhh!

The blankets are all wonderful. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine had 2 boys followed by a girl. We were standing downstairs and she asked if I wanted to see the nursery. I kid you not, you could see the pink glowing down the stairs in the sunlight. I said, "I think I already do!" They were really excited about girly things too. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-24722940200815898072008-03-13T15:01:00.000-05:002008-03-13T15:01:00.000-05:00I really love Baxter's brightly colored blanket! ...I really love Baxter's brightly colored blanket!

I've never made one for any of my kids, but my sister in law and some friends have, so I'm off the hook. <BR/><BR/>I am due exactly a week after you, and I am just as anxious.
