Blanket woes

this is L M's blanket i'm making....each child received one shortly after birth.

it's going along fine, sorta

yep, it's crocheted, yep, it's acrylic, yep it's annoying -

it's a kit from Mary Maxim (?) it's darn cute in the (finished) picture & i'm liking how the different color yarns flow.

but but but but but..i'm getting concerned cause it's supposed to be a STAR! my points aren't pointy enough,,i think,,,,,

so i'm making some adjustments to the pattern to -hopefully- make the points a point!

L M says "hurry up Mamere, i'm cooooold". but he's really not! his mommy finished her pretty fleece blankie she made him and he's just as cozy as can be!!!

who taught the baby how to point??!
