Baby Blue Crochet

I rushed to get this little crochet baby pram blanket finished yesterday so that I could photograph it while there was still some light.  Actually it was a lovely cold, but sunny day here in Greenock yesterday.

 
Listening to the radio while I was making this, the song Visions by Cliff Richard came on - some of the lyrics are - visions of you in shades of blue.  From then on, every time I picked this up to work on it, that song would go through my head.  Click here to listen (try, if you can, to ignore what he is wearing!).

 
I'm pleased with the way it has turned out - there were so many different shades of blue to choose and I loved making each square different.

 
So now that that's finished, the yarn is assembled for the next project - can't wait to start!

Love, Liz

It's so sweet! No hints as to what your next project may be? Love the monochrome shades of yarn though.

Oh my goodness, I used to sing along with that song when I was young, my eldest sister was a Cliff fan so I am embarrassingly familiar with his back catalogue! I'm not bothered about being cool, thankfully! Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting...
Anyway, on to the blanket, which is beautiful.
Thank you for following and commenting over at mine, I appreciate it.
Love Curtise xxxx

Writing this at work so not able to see clip of Cliff! The crochet is lovely, I really like that this is a variation on the peggy square and the colours are very harmonious. A very lucky baby to be snuggled under this blanket.

Such a beautiful blanket. Love all the blues. Our days are getting warmer and the desire to sit with a blanket draped over your knees and finish a project is getting less.

That's amazing! My mother crocheted almost the same baby pram blanket when she was pregnant with my youngest sister in the 1970s because she thought after two girls she will get a baby boy. So your blanket reminds me of my childhood.
