I am behind on email since my new computer is doa.

 

I have knit many lap/baby blankets and do my own patterns. My first questions for you are: do you know how to switch colors in either knit, crochet, or both? Do you know how to make a gauge swatch?

 

Don't worry, I have answers if both are no.

 

Cindy

Hey everybody, as you know, I have limited fit and crochet skills. But I was asked by a friend in colleague to get her brand new granddaughter a blanket. The colors are purple and pink. I am happy to do this for little Viviane but have it the foggiest idea how wide or long it should be. I also don’t know what kind of yard would be best. Bulky is easier to crochet with, but would it be too heavy? I know that babies could suffocate and I certainly don’t want that to happen. I’ve never worked with a pattern, so just giving me a pattern would not be the solution though something very simple with Assistance would be fantastic. She said she doesn’t care if it’s dinner or crocheted add self striping Yoard is fine. Such an honor! Nobody’s ever asked me to do anything before.

 

I hope this is clear because I’m half asleep. I know I’m asking the right people
