I didn't know it was going to be a girl, but my gut told me it would be. I started making a unisex baby blanket before she was born; I thought I was being proactive in knitting it early, but she thought she would come out a week early! I was frantically knitting this up in the 24 hours following her birth. I love the unisex colours that I chose, but ultimately I'm excited that they had a girl, and I'm excited for all the girly things I will knit her.
Hoodie Baby Blanket by Nikol Lohr
Lion Brand Cotton-Ease (50% cotton, 50% acrylic, the best baby cotton to knit with!!)
Made for my beautiful niece Talia
Surprisingly, I've never tried the 'broken garter stitch' before (which I used on the outside of the blanket, in Grey). This is one of my new favorite stitches, and I'm going to try it on some dishcloths. I love the simplicity of it, and the stitches look like little cobblestone roads. And I'd also like to mention thatI'm so proud of my sister-in-law because she was calm and collected when she went into labour, and incredibly strong throughout the entire childbirth; she didn't need any drugs at all. Truly inspiring.
