I love giving knitted projects as gifts – especially for a new baby. It isn’t just that I love knitting (which I do!) or that I love babies (which I do!)- it is that when I work on a knitted project for a baby I spend a lot of time thinking about that baby.
As I knit the blocks that will make up my niece’s baby blanket, I imagine her building sand castles on the beach with my daughters and having sleepover parties where they are giggling and cozy with their blankies.
Ah, before that beautiful picture becomes a reality my niece will need to be a little older than her mere one month and my knitting will need to get done.
As usual for me, I have trouble envisioning how the first few stitches of a project…
will become a blanket.
But as I keep knitting and the individual squares begin to form
And they even match up where they are supposed to match up:
I’m beginning to get a better picture in my head. And it is a pretty picture – except for all the ends that are going to need to be sewn in – there should be a finishing fairy to come take care of that for me

If you’ve met that finishing fairy, send her to my house when you are done with her
The blanket looks great!
Hi I am a first timer at his , looking through you website and was very impressed. I am looking to start knitting for my first grandchild. I would like to knit in cotton as in Australia it is very war. We are expecting our grand child in October so I have enough time to knit something really nice!!!!!
Was wondering if you could give me some advise as to whatg I should look for in a pattern or stay clear of. I am an experienced knitter but in wool this will be my first time in cotton.
Hope you can help me start my cotton knitting adventure!!!!
Many thanks Nanna Barb to be.
I started a new pattern of a teddy bear blankie for my new granddaughter and I am not happy with the baby yarn I purchased Bernat brand. It was tangled inside and pulled. I normally do not take the time to put the yarn into a ball should I do this with your brand of yarn. The colors I purchased were beautiful but all tangled inside .Please help me. Thanks,
