Finish-itis

I had a case of "start-itis" last month, now I am getting a case of "finish-itis" this month. I started this baby blanket about (yes I'm ashamed to say it) 7 years ago, and you see how far I got with it. Obviously, the recipient got something else as a gift! The pattern was from a Leisure Arts magazine called "Crochet with Heart" that ended up being discontinued. I think I still have almost every issue they made! (Yes, I have just a small case of "pack-rat-ism" too). I even think I still have some of the yarn somewhere! I am really wanting to try to finish up some of my UFO projects this month!
I only have to do about 5 more rows to finish this other baby blanket that I started last year:

It is a pattern from a leaflet by Terry Kimbrough called: Heirloom Afghans for Baby, shown
on the cover of the book and named "Exquisite".

One thing I HAVE managed to start AND finish recently: Another fish for the kitchen potholder animal farm, using the "cool breeze ombre" colorway by Sugar n Cream. I will probably be giving *some* of these away for gifts. Although the "selfish" part of me wants to keep them ALL! ........................................ Mwahahahahaha!

Corrections to Fish Potholder pattern

Oops! One of my pattern testers, Maha, noticed a problem with row 34 of the fish potholder pattern. The photo above is her test fish which she fixed, even when she ran across the errors in the pattern! That is the beauty of crochet! I think her version really came out cute. She tells me he is going to become a washcloth. I love her colorway, too!
This post is to let you know that the errors have been corrected on the pattern. Sorry if anyone was messed up by the "old" information. Here are some better directions:

Row 34: Ch 1, *2 dc in 3rd sc from hook, 1 tr in same space, 2 more dc in same space (making a shell), skip 2 sc, 1 single crochet in next sp*. Repeat 2 more times from * to *. Bind off.

Sorry about that, this is my first attempt at pattern writing, so ya'll please forgive me! Hope it works better now!

Yesterday was DH's birthday, so we had a nice lunch AND dinner out, and DH got a few presents he has been wanting for a while! Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday!
