It's a great little blanket that is good for both boys and girls. It's a fun knit and works up quickly. I knit one for my own daughter just after she was born.

I like Morehouse Farm's or Knitting Pure and Simple's booties and my favorite hat lately is Little Turtle Knit's Rushty hat.

I enjoy making each one unique, sometimes with a tassel top, decorated with artsy-folk styles, animal motifs, polka dots or classic tiny stripes. For inspiration I look at patterns by Debbie Bliss, then Kristin Nicholas's colors, textures & embroidery (of course ! :) and then geometrics of Kaffe Fassett, & voila', a great hat recipe just flies off the needles.<br />Thanks for a lovely give-away for nice children's books *<br />Sincerely,<br />Shell~<br />YarnSoup@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-39427933671894504952011-03-23T00:55:32.432-04:002011-03-23T00:55:32.432-04:00I either knit a baby hat or simple baby sweater fo...I either knit a baby hat or simple baby sweater for friends!

IF it is a girl, I will make a baby doll blanket to match or if there's an older sister of the baby. What all knitters know is that you will always get comments from the MOM about how much the handmade gifts meant. Even years later. Worth the effort and sometimes down to the crunch!
