i am happily, finally, to the very last round of my granny garden blanket for bundles of joy! i couldn't decide which edging i wanted to use, so i crocheted a few repeats of the scallop edging and a few repeats of the picot edging and then asked lily which one she liked best.
she voted scallops, i was leaning towards picot... then she had the clever idea of combining them...
i have dubbed it "lily's edging" and think it's genius!

brilliant! You should show her Joli House (jolihouse.com) website... she might find some inspiration for designs of her own! Young minds, not set in rules yet can create really new or edgy stuff! Like the reversible Middleton sweater!

Wow! That's a great idea! I'm going to have to remember this one. I was thinking possibly a granny square blanket for one of my friend's baby-on-the-way, but she requested no holes for little fingers to get caught in... I started a knit blanket for her, but I might change my mind. I'm still thinking about possibly making solid granny squares.

Yeh! for Lily. Some of "my" best ideas have been inspired by one of the children. They are never leaving home.
