Among the many things we miss about our dear friend Pam Reece is her crochet savvy. She loved to take a familiar, even nostalgic, idea and give it a modern twist. Like this baby blanket, for example. It’s amply sophisticated for any decor and easy to size up to adult proportions. As Pam would say, “Handsome!”
