Damn and blast!

I really want to get the final 3 squares done for the Bamboo blankie but i've only gawn and lost me crochet hook! I can't even use a substitute as i don't actually know what size hook i was using! It's an old bone (??) hook that is just so comfy to use and although i think it's a 4mm i'm not entirely sure! I guess i could do a square with a metal hook and see how they compare but i don't want anything to bugger this project up for me :o(

Soooooooo... as a little light relief from the stress of the loss of the hook ::winks:: i decided to cast on my very first Baby Surprise Jacket :oD
Norty aren't i ;o)

What have we here?

So, here it is at about 15 garter ridges (or thereabouts)
I knid of got a bit lost on the counting and whatnot but it seems to be going... OK :oD

I am using Yarn Yard October Club yarn on a 3.5mm needle and the resulting fabric seems to be very nice so far. Nice and drapey and not stiff at all which seems perfect to me for a baby jacket. I thought this colour would be fine for either a boy or a girl, it isn't gender specific and Lisa really isn't into pastels (nor am i for that matter but then it's not for me anyway ::lol:: )
I really hope she likes it, but knowing Lisa she would soon tell me if she didn't ;o)
