When I found out I was pregnant with my first child 11 years ago, I decided that I would crochet her and any following children a baby blanket. All went well and each of my first three children have their very own blanket. Now we come to my youngest, who is 8 months old, and I have still yet to complete her blanket. This is my current frustration. I worked diligently to complete her blanket before her birth, then my plans went astray as I have been unable to find the yarn that I need to complete the blanket. Every time I go to the store, it is nowhere to be found. I have even tried to find it online and it seems to always be out of stock. Now I am faced with two solutions that I can think of: 1) I could try and find a different color scheme that wouldn't look horrible with the colors that I am currently using or 2) start a new blanket. I really don't want to crochet an entirely new blanket for her as I worked so hard on the first one but I haven't seen any yarn that would suit my current color scheme. A second dilemma I am facing is that I am currently 6 months pregnant with my fifth child and need to make a blanket for him as well. So, this means that if I choose to start over, I will need to crochet two blankets and hopefully have them finished before the new baby gets here. I want all of my children to have something by which to remember their childhood and feel that a blanket from mom is one of the best ways to show my love for them and give them a good memory at the same time.
