I've learned a new craft!

I have learned how to crochet edges on blankets/burp clothes for babies. I am sure this can be done on adult blankets too but it would take me forever. Anyway, the item that is to be crocheted first needs a border of little holes where the crochet hook and thread will go . I think this is called hemstitching. Here is an example:

I found a website that sells fabric that comes pre-hemstitched. http://www.ihemstitch.com/index.html

My first project is just a plain white felt blanket with green trim. Here are some pictures:
