We rode horseback in Yosemite. There was a time I was terrified to get atop a horse. My sister was thrown when I was riding with her in the woods in my 20s. Something spooked her horse and in the end it was just a broken rib and a bruised kidney. And a scary memory. Over time I got back on a horse for a trail ride with my kids. You feel so far UP when you get in the saddle. There is something unique about riding a horse. I love horses. So this is Chance, and he was mighty steady as we rode for several hours in Wawona Valley. (Okay so I took a xanax before I got on him.....truth be told..
but it was worth it! )
The Baby Blanket came together better than I'd dreamed. I crocheted them together. There are a zillion ends in the back. A zillion is a word......see Dr. Suess please. So I am knitting a plain garter back that I will crochet to the front and it will be a double sided blanket.....
I have a fear that my woven ends will loosen and the gift will have a hole in it someday.......
So I quit worrying about it and decided to knit a back.
Have you decided to quit worrying about anything lately???

Love the two-sided blanket idea. It will be nice and warm for a winter baby...
Since I think there's no chance anyone local will find this, I've quit worrying about whether or not my PE will "stay the course". Worrying won't change the outcome, and we have plans for virtually every scenerio, so... what will be will be.
The blanket is adorable.
Your Baby Blanket is beautiful. Of course zillion is a word. Where would gazillion come from if not?
Chance is a gorgeous horse - such a lovely color.
The baby blanket is cute as can be and will be treasured.
Now, as for the horse.... he is beautiful! I owned a buckskin quarter horse in my late 20's. I loved him - he was a gentle giant. He exploded in a full gallop (a leaf fell from a tree) with my hand hanging onto his lead line and broke a couple fingers in the process. Several years later I married and gave my Joe to a loving family.
I never wanted to own a horse again.
Enter my darling daughter Jessica who since she was 3 years old LOVED, RODE and wanted a horse. I stood my ground and said "NO" to her pleading - she went to college and got a four year degree in Equine Bus. Management and was on the teams etc. I watched as she got pitched head over tail from many horses....... they are powerful animals. A girl at the college got kicked in the head and died while bringing one of the college horses in for the night. I still love them, but from a great distance. I pray my daughter - when on her own will NEVER get one.......I can only hope.
Glad you had a good ride.
I love the baby quilt.
I have ridden an elephant, but I have never ridden a horse! My mother was deathly allergic to them, so when growing up, I had to steer clear. Some day, maybe I will
I try to stop worrying about things that I can't control. Sometimes it works..
Same thing?
Lovely blanket.
