I am crotcheting a blanket for a christmas gift

I give blankets as gifts also. I just finished 4 baby blankets in the last 3 months. I have a lot of patten books so they all look different. I also make stocking and Christmas tree skirts. It keeps me from eating while I'm watching TV.

I crochet blankets to I find that if you split them into sections then you can get them done faster there are sites to help you learn more and forums as well if you want,just let me know and good luck

I love to crochet too. I have been making scarves to give as Christmas gifts. There's one blanket I started last year with the intent of giving it to a friend for Christmas. I'm not sure why, but I never finished it. I found it the other day and I only need to finish the border for it to be done, so I'll give it to her this year (after very gently washing it, since it's been sitting in a bag for so long). In addition to crocheting while I watch TV, I love to take it on family trips and crochet while my husband drives. I also like to read on the road, but I am able to chat with my husband if I crochet instead.

I like to make blankets too as long as they are in one peice , i dont do many of the sq's ya have to sew together causei jusy get bored and they will take me years to complete LOL if ya are looking into learning more stictches i suggest signing up with crochet partners.org they are a list of crocheters from all around the world and no ? rarely goes unanswered ;) he site is www.crochetpartners.org tho they said they will be changing back to ya hoo soon since they have more benefits pics etc .. any who hope this helps ! ~M~

I've been promising my fiance a blanket for about 4 years now, but have never quite gotten around to it. It's pretty time consuming to make blankets, and I usually try to keep up on keeping my online store stocked. Eventually I'll actually stick to my promise, though. In the mean time, he's just going to have to enjoy the beanie and gloves i've made him. :)
