I am looking for any crochet christening gown set (using the #10 thread). I want to make this for my 1st grandchild (which is due on Dec 27th). I would appreciate if you know anything or any websites? I live in Louisville, KY. Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in quite a while. Once in a while I stop by and skim the messages.

A friend once told me that she never discarded half-done projects, or things that hadn't turned out right. She saved them and used them for creating sweaters and knitted clothing for dolls she made. She would also pick up any half-done projects that sometimes fine their way into garage sales...
