My oldest daughter comes up to me this week and tells me that she is almost 7. Of course I agree with her. Then she looks up at me and announces that "7 is half a teenager". LOL I didn't know how to respond to that one. I'm most certainly not ready to be a mom of a teenager and when did she get to be almost 7? She is still my baby that needs hugs and kisses and squeezes (a really tight hug). She is the reason for many a sleepless night and trips to the doctor. She is the one who is silly and goofy even if she is bit ackward but still manages to light up a room the second she enters. Without her my life would be so very different. Good Gravy time certainly flies when you arn't looking.
Blanket Square is the Seed Pearl Block Stitch and while it is incredibly simple to knit, it is also quite handsome. As I was knitting it, I thought it would make a very attractive baby blanket. Granted certain baby thoughts are coming easily to me after I've been informed I'm mother to half a teen-ager.
Enjoy!
