i am pregnant with identical twin girls. i was making them afghans for when they are born. i just finished them. i made them the same except one has "Isabella" crocheted in it for my one girl and the other has "Elianna" crocheted into it for my other girl. i can't wait for the girls to come now so i can use the afghans.

Princessmel You do great work. Those afghans are absoultely beautiful. Do you use a pattern?How do you get the names crocheted into the yarn? I know the girls are going to love them.

i followed a pattern to do the afghans. i crocheted the names in as i was crocheting the afghan. you just switch to a different color of yarn when you get to the part with the name.

I was thinking of doing something similar but I didn't think I could figure it out so I was considering embroidering it in somehow.

What a beautiful afghan. I know these will be VERY special to them for years to come!! Love how you did the names on them. You should do their hospital pictures with these blankets. How soon are you due?? Best of luck with your twins!

Great work! You are very talented. I would love to be able to do that. Those girls will have a beautiful reminder of how happy mom was to bring them into the world. Nice and warm.
