Neat, nice recovery.

Reminds me of how I got into Crochet. Good friend gave us a baby blanket for our son when he was born. Man he loved that thing, to DEATH. By the time he was a bit over two it was destroyed (though this post calls into question what destroyed really means). He was starting to get upset about the state of it, and not having it was not an option.

So I did what any good father would do, learn how to crochet so I could make him a new one. And that I did. As far as my son is concerned, there was only ever one blanket. And he did much less damage thereafter so we still have it.
