July Gifted Gorgeousness

I am waaaaay behind in getting this gift done...and I still have one more to finish.  But...here is July's gifted gorgeousness entry.  My husband's niece had a baby a couple of months ago and I'm finally finishing up this afghan.  I struggled (it was a new pattern) and had to frog, re-crochet, frog and re-crochet a few times.  But...it's finally done.  They probably won't need this until cooler weather anyway, but I should have had it done sooner.  My husband's nephew's wife also had a baby a couple of weeks later, and I'm finally getting started on that one.  Anyway...long story short, here's the first one, done just in time for this SAL.



I also stitched July's Delphiniums from Cottage Garden Samplings.  This chart belongs to a friend of mine who has been letting me borrow the patterns.  I changed a lot of the colors, just for the fun of it.

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. The crochet looks lovely.

I'm really enjoying seeing all the different versions of the Cottage Garden months too. Love your colour choices.

You must have felt so satisfied once the blanket was finally done and your CGS piece is so pretty - I love the colours you chose.

The baby afghan is so pretty. My guess is the afghan is for a little princess. The CGS stitching is awesome too.
