And it's only taken a year...

Here is the baby blanket I wanted to make for Simon before he was born.  I originally ordered yarn for it in January 2010 (on my birthday to be exact).  It would have given me about 6 weeks to make it once the yarn arrived.  But it never came. I contacted the yarn company and they said they would ship it again.  Still it never arrived.  I tried calling them and emailing them and never got a response.  I finally had to contact my bank in order to dispute the charge for merchandise never received.  I had decided that it wasn't meant to be and put the pattern back on the shelf to collect dust.  

Shortly after Simon's 1st birthday I came across the pattern again and decided to make it anyway.  I ordered some yarn again (from a different company) and started working on it in April 2011.  Just shy of a year later, I finished it last night.  It was put on the back burner for more pressing projects and I finally got around to finishing it.  Of course, it's way too small for Simon but would make the perfect carseat blanket so it's going to find a home with one of the many expectant moms that I know.
