My record for making a baby blanket at this point is two years, so I suppose getting two done in 5 months isn't too bad. I made these for Tony's little brother and sister and managed to send both blankets off around their 6 month birthday, so holla to that.
Sorry these pictures are boring as hell. I was really not impressed with the pastel selection, but apparently pastels are what you give babies.
Likewise, it is apparently cliche to go with pink and blue, so I went with green and yellow (yes, twins, a boy and a girl)...Personally I think that's silly. Let it be known that if I have a daughter I will shower her in pink (of the neon variety) and if I have a son he can be decked out in all the blue in the world.

My reflections on this project:
- Crocheting blankets is a much better decision over knitting them. Fo' reals.
- Sewing a satin border on looks pretty but is a bitch.
- The lacy pattern and fluffy yarn were a bitch with the sewing machine so I had to sew them by hand, which I semi suck at.
- I have no freaking clue how to miter a corner so I just kind of winged it...which came out alright, but if you don't really know what you're doing (like me) I don't recommend it because it adds hours upon hours onto the project.
