I started this tradition with Elliott. It saddened me so much to think we wouldn't have anything special for her when she was born. I couldn't bring myself to buy an outfit at the store that I knew some other sweet baby girl would have too. So I decided to crochet a blanket unique and special just for her. It helped to pass the time as well and as I would sit for hours crocheting each little square I would think about Elliott.
Elliott's blanket was maybe half the size of Sophie's and looking back on this picture reminds me of what a little peanut she was. Just 2 pounds 11 ounces. ... Sophie's going to seem so big!
As I was planning Sophie's blanket I decided to use the same color yarn as Elliott's blanket but without the blue and I created a new pattern. At first I thought it might make me sad to see a blanket so similar but seeing the finished product I think it will be just one more sweet reminder of Elliott.
One week to go!
