A dream to make for Lisa and Little Chloe

During the visit to the Sydney Craft Show, 2010 we came across a lady selling a crochet baby jacket pattern. It has a copyright dated 2010 and was familiar so we bought it, we being myself and The Nanny (my beautiful Mum). As The Nanny has not forgotten anything she has ever made, !!!, we get home and she starts going through the old patterns. I'm talking pre-colour here folks! Low and behold up pops the very same pattern and The Nanny exclaims 'I made this for your brother!'. Now he is 45 this year, so a very old pattern indeed.
Flutter-bye jacket and ripple blanket
Not long after I run into a colleague at work I have known for 14 years and find out she is pregnant with her first, after 17 losses! There was only one thing to do. Add her to the list of blankets and get crackin'. The end result was a Flutter-bye jacket in a beautiful soft variegated with a semi-matching ripple stroller blanket. They are going in the post to her this weekend and I hope she likes them. The little angel was safely delivered and has been named Chloe. Congratulations.
