I had surgery in July and my surgeon's nurse Crystal is probably one of the sweetest people you'll meet. She's always smiling, kind and very caring. She's pregnant with her first baby and is due any day now (Oct 24, 2011). When I saw her during my first followup she told me she didn't know what she was having as she and her husband wanted to be surprised. I was so taken with her and her decision because I always thought the same thing. We agreed there aren't enough "fun" surprises as we get older, so why not wait til the little one gets here.
Since I didn't know exactly "who" is on their way, I decided I would go with the bright rainbow of primary colors. I found a granny pattern similar to what I made here and adjusted it to what colors and yarn I had chosen to use. I call it "Stained Glass Baby Blanket".
When I had my 3 month follow up appointment a couple of weeks ago, I gave her the blanket in a bright red bag with primary colored tissue papers. She was so surprised and so genuinely happy. She kept saying "I love it" and 'snuggled' with it and saying how soft it was. She even said I'd made her day.
And I can tell you, her reaction certainly made mine!
