Found out that my BIL and his wife can take the newborn twins home on Tuesday. So exciting. In the meantime, I'm crocheting baby blankets for the little ones (whose names as of this moment are Ava and Bella). I looked high and low online for an easy pattern, but all of them had edgings or stitches that were too complicated for my brain at this stage of life. The best I found...and one that's not too mind-numbing, is a prayer shawl pattern. I wanted a looser weave, and the half-double crochet stitch looks pretty anyway. The cool thing is that I'd talked yesterday about wanting to go buy a larger hook. Figured I'd slip into Michael's either yesterday afternoon or today. One of our sons handed me something before dinner last night and it was two crochet hooks he'd made. Got some wood out of some he'd cut and whittled them for me. One the exact larger size I wanted.

How neat is that?
