So many babies so little time

I know like a million pregnant women right now...okay it's more like 7 or 8...which is awesome. I really like to make baby blankets, well I guess they are afghans for baby showers and such. A few weeks ago I realized the first of these babies will be due soon so I started crocheting-I love it, I've gotten books from the library since I only know 2 stitches-they're quite versatile-and am loving learning new things.

For instance there is a single stitch and a double stitch and half double stitch. A half double stitch IS NOT the same as a single stitch!!! There's proof that all those old yarn toting grannies that you thought were a little off really are quite crazy!! No wonder no one can make change anymore-our math is all backwards!!

Choo-Choo (I'm getting back on track bu-dun-crash) I'm making this blanket...stitching...counting...messing up...undoing stitches...counting again (more fuzzy math)...stitching...re-convincing Baby that yarn is not a ball, sure it's a sphere but that doesn't mean you can throw it-especially not the one I'm currently using...re rolling yarn..stitching...counting...CRAP! This baby is the SECOND baby due...okay, stitch faster! change the pattern to something easier...do I have enough yarn?? Must make blankies!!

I once gave an almost finished blanket at a baby shower. I'm trying not to do that this time...so if you get a lovely burp cloth, do not be surprised.
