Okay, have been talking about these afghans for the last month and now I have finally finished them....I swear I can almost say my ABCs frontwards and backwards by now The pattern has a graft, so if you want to do this afghan just Google "ABC Baby Afghan"....can't find my pattern right now

Now I'm working on a ripple stitch afghan....

ABCs afghans in 3 different colors...




Any questions.....just let me know...

Oh, Lori, they are beautiful. I'm sure they will be treasured. Thanks for sharing your labor of love.

Wow, almost makes you want to have another baby...NOT! They sure are gorgeous. I envy your talent.

Very nice Lori....I've been working on a baby blanket for two years and I have about 12" finished....it was started for the first born of one of my son's friends and his wife...Macy is now 18 months old...but there is hope...mom is expecting again so maybe I'll get it finished this time around!

Those are really neat - lucky babies and moms. My Mom tried to teach me to crochet - never could get it - lost patience. Makes me want to try again.

Oh Lori, those are spectacular. Yep, you are talented, my friend. The babies will be learning the alphabet in their sleep.

those are beautiful, such talent, I crochet too but nothing fancy like that,
I'm so envious of your talent.

so pretty
what is the stitch to do the letter?
Sheila

Dang they're pretty.

?? Are those for babies in the family?? Or for friends too? You've probably posted info about that and I missed it! It they are for just family members??? You've got a busy family! hehehehe

Sheila....the stitch is called a "puff" on the pattern, but it is really a "popcorn" stitch....it's all done in a single crochet stitch except the lettering which is the popcorn stitch....

Echo.... My family has had a new baby every year since Nov. 2005....sometimes 2 in 1 year... ....My Mom is currently a Great-grandma 9 times.... These are for my one niece who is expecting twin girls in March and a nephew and his wife, who are expecting in late Feb.....so that will bring the count up to 11.... ....I am the eldest of 6 kids.....so we are use to large families..... and every one of them are a joy!!! I know my Dad is looking down on this whole babyboom and laughing.....BTW....he was a twin, too....

Yes, where can I get the pattern? I keep sane knitting/crocheting baby blankets.
I live in Utah, where birthin' babies is a cottage industry.

Janice.....one of my sisters use to live in Utah and worked in labor and delivery in Heber City.....okay......here ya' go with the pattern....go to
www.crochetmore.com/babysabcsafghan When doing the finishing I didn't put the popcorn stitches around the edges as the pattern called for....felt the afghan was heavy enough....besides my fingers were getting tired by then....

How georgous, Lori. Wow, I need to take crocheting lessons from you. Whoever gets these precious gifts are very lucky. Thanks for sharing.
