In addition to this I thought I would make a nursing pillow. I know when my kids were small, back in the stone age, I loved my nursing pillow. I found it invaluable, a new sitting baby was able to sit in it without falling over and banging their head. Our son actually slept with this until he was about 4 years old, it made him feel like he was always being held on to in his bed. I also had this adorable sock monkey flannel that I bought for another purpose and never used. Fits right in with the wool sock blanket.
As I finished up the blanket and made some personal tags for the gift
I decided that I should make some matching booties and a cute little hat. I was really excited about this project, and at the end of the day it turned out wonderfully.
I should point out that I am not a great crocheter, in fact until this project I had never completed anything that was of any use. I don't know how to read a pattern, but am currently learning with the help of you tube.
The little tags were easy to make using Crayola Air dry clay in white. I have had that specific container opened to over a year and it is just as good as the day I first opened it. I love this stuff , it is economical and I have wonderful results every time. Here is the link, so you can check it out yourself. www.crayola.ca/things-to-do/how-to-landing/airdry-clay.aspx
