With our son coming soonish, I thought I should make him some special things just for him. I found a crocheted sheep blanket pattern in October that is just so cute. I started right around Christmas and have decided to crochet it something like this one with the sheep, stars, and moon appliqued on the top. About half of the blue night sky is finished (not terribly interesting yet, thus no photo).

I also came upon this cute granny square turtle that he might like. Have the shell finished so far and not quite enough yarn for the head and legs. Might use some of my handspun merino yarn for those with some of Eleven Hills handspun for the underbelly.

I’ll probably make a few more animals for him too. I was thinking the lion from Easy Crochet Critters would be good.
