from: Marie Lanier Stewart: “I have never crocheted a pair of baby booties before and have wanted to learn so badly. I finally found a pattern I really liked. Here is my very first crocheted pair. I am so proud. I want to give credit to “The Crochet Architect” for their pattern which was free. I love this pattern. I can see many more in my future. It really did not take long at all either.”

from: Nancy’s Nice Knots of Crochet: “My Ripple Waves Blanket … I made it large enough for a Child’s Blanket, 41″ x 52″. I used Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White, Pale Yellow, Honeydew, Perfect Pink, Lt. Blue, and Orchid. Size I hook. I did 4 pattern rows of color and 2 pattern rows of white. I did 2 rows of border instead of just one. Free pattern: https://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/LW2287_rev.pdf”
