From a chick who crochets, that is incredibly awesome and sweet.

So, a little related. When I was pregnant with my daughter I started crocheting a blanket. I didn't get it finished before she was born. Then she died as an infant and I put it away. After my son was born I decided to finally finish it so he could use it, and I did. Can't say it was his favorite one, as I have like seven crocheted baby blankets, but it was larger than most and it was used as a floor blanket a lot. It's now put away for him to hand down to his kids and when he's a dad I'll tell him I started it for his sister. He will really love that because, though he never knew her, he has a warm spot in his heart for her (my son is currently 14).
That is an awesome way to build something beautiful from heartache.

Alright, since I was responsible for negativity on the thread this morning let me flip it a bit, bear with me:

A few years ago when my wife and I found out we were going to have a baby I started making a blanket for the baby. (yes, I'm a dude who crochets.)

A few weeks later my wife had a miscarriage. It was devastating. I put the blanket away. When she was at work I eventually pulled it out and started working on it again. Months went by and eventually we found out that we were going to have a baby again. I kept quietly making this blanket. I never stopped believing that eventually there would be a baby to give it to. For three years I have worked on it a bit here and there so my wife wouldn't see it and have bad memories.

Last night my wife told me that Archimedes outgrew his baby blanket.

I went to the closet and pulled out the finished blanket I made and held it out to him. He grabbed it and snuggled it and hasn't let go since.

My wife and I both nearly lost it as he toddled up the stairs dragging this blanket to bed.

_______
So I hope that makes up for the negativity I brought to the forum this morning.
This is beautiful. :)

Prolific is popping today so make sure to check in on your account. If you have been invited to the new beta interface but are hesitant I have been using it for a couple weeks and IMO it is a definite upgrade.
