when i was pregnant with tyler, i really wanted to knit a blanket for him.  first half of my pregnancy, the weather was cool enough to knit but i didn't know what i was having.  second half of my pregnancy, it was far too hot to knit with acrylic yarn.  so i never got around to it.

3 1/2 years later, i am finally getting around to it.  better late than never, right?

i have the yarn!

  and will follow this pattern for the blanket. 

now the toughest task will be to stick with it until i'm done with this project.  i am horrible at finishing long knitting or crochet projects.  this is one thing i want to finish.
