Christmas in July

Fourth of July is Monday, so of course I'm thinking about Christmas. I have been working steadily on a snowflake blanket to give my daughter for Christmas. Today I counted that I have 9 snowflakes and 9 more snowflakes with borders. That makes 18 out of about 43 that I need. I hope to finish this by this Christmas, but it can always be a "First Christmas" gift after their wedding next year, too!

This is from the December 2009 issue of Crochet Today magazine. It is slightly different in that I did not do the picot edging.

    I find if you're making gifts you generally have to be thinking of Christmas all summer! The snowflake blanket sounds lovely :)

    I agree that you have to think of Christmas all the time if you are making your gifts. Love the pattern!

    Beautiful work, M2F! My mother loved to crochet, but I never got the hang of it. I know it will turn out beautfully! :)
