how is everybody doing? I need to do a blanket, burp rags, and beaded soxs for a baby shower on the 1st of June. Last shower I had in March was to be a girl and I did the items and she had a boy. She had 2 showers with all pink and got all pink!!! Kinda thinking rather to go either way or stay with girl colors.

Hi all, well I have had DH home all week so didn't get hardly anything done on my list this week. At least I finished the squares for nieces afghan and should be able to finish the entire afghan by the 31st.

Hopefully things will go better next week.

Jampss,
Years ago my grandma would do towels, some by crocheting the top and others with material.
Could you tell me anything about the ones with material. The size and instructions. THANKS!

Hi,
Wow, sorry to be a month later getting back on here!!

I don't make the ones with material on the top, but I did a Google search for crochet towel toppers ... maybe you could Google Material Sewn Towel Toppers?

Here is where I found my crochet ideas ...
