Hazel's Blanket


My niece and god-daughter just had a second child, a little girl named Hazel Celia.  My poor mother nearly cried when she was told the name ... she associates Hazel with Shirley Booth's ancient b&w sitcom about an impertinent housemaid.  I keep assuring Mom that we will all get used to it.  Well, anyway, I am crocheting a blanket and will be personalizing a bib.



It feels odd to be working with a crochet hook instead of a tapestry needle.  Odd but good.I am about 1/3 done with this blanket, done mostly in pinks with some pastel green, yellow and lavender thrown in for variation.  It's just a series of single and half double crochets as you can see by the close-up.

Oh this is wonderful! And I love the name Hazel. :)

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

I know a couple of lovely people called Hazel, it is an older name though, not one used so much these days.
But it is a REAL name and not a bunch of made up syllables. And they have spelled it correctly not Hayzell or something ridiculous. That's my pet peeve LOL.

Anyway, you have made baby Hazel a lovely blanket.

And I shan't mention Watership Down...
